The verdict

Aquam runs at 161% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Plumbing contractors workplace, earning a grade D.

Aquam: 4.5 TCR = 161% of Plumbing contractors BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Aquam safety composite

Aquam scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 27%), 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).
