The verdict

553 runs at 187% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Drywall and Insulation Contractors workplace, earning a grade D.

553: 5.2 TCR = 187% of Drywall and Insulation Contractors BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

553 safety composite

553 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 31%), 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).
