A/W Mechanical Services: 0.9 TCR = 32% of HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) contractors BLS 2.8 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

A/W Mechanical Services safety composite

A/W Mechanical Services scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 89% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
