The verdict

38th Street runs at 75% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical General Merchandise Store workplace, earning a grade B.

38th Street: 2.5 TCR = 75% of General Merchandise Store BLS 3.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

38th Street safety composite

38th Street scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers. A missing measure drops out and redistributes its weight rather than deflating the score. This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Washington alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #10 safest of 49 General Merchandise Store employers in Washington.

38th Street (48 employees, TCR 2.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 23 employees and a TCR of 4.1

38th Street has more employees than the General Merchandise Store median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.1. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
