The verdict

502 - Social Services runs at 57% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical General public administration workplace, earning a grade B.

502 - Social Services: 1.8 TCR = 57% of General public administration BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

502 - Social Services safety composite

502 - Social Services scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
