The verdict

American Water runs at 331% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Water treatment plants workplace, earning a grade F.

American Water: 4.0 TCR = 331% of Water treatment plants BLS 1.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

American Water safety composite

American Water scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% 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).

American Water has fewer employees than the Water treatment plants median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.2. 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.
