Berkeley: 0.9 TCR = 21% of Marine Cargo Handling Services BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Berkeley safety composite

Berkeley scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 53%), 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).
