The verdict

Biomass One runs at 521% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical powerplant workplace, earning a grade F.

Biomass One: 6.3 TCR = 521% of powerplant BLS 1.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Biomass One safety composite

Biomass One scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 13%), 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).

Biomass One (82 employees, TCR 6.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 28 employees and a TCR of 3.1

Biomass One has more employees than the powerplant median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.1. 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.
