The verdict

500 runs at 241% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Cable laying (e.g., cable television, electricity, marine, telephone), including underground workplace, earning a grade F.

500: 6.8 TCR = 241% of Cable laying (e.g., cable television, electricity, marine, telephone), including underground BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

500 safety composite

500 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 12%), 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).

500 has fewer employees than the Cable laying (e.g., cable television, el median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.0. 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.
