The verdict

8 runs at 32% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Freight Forwarding workplace, earning a grade A.

8: 1.5 TCR = 32% of Freight Forwarding BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

8 safety composite

8 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 64% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 50%), 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).
