The verdict

Aurora runs at 44% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Industial Gas Distribution workplace, earning a grade A.

Aurora: 1.0 TCR = 44% of Industial Gas Distribution BLS 2.2 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Aurora safety composite

Aurora scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).
