The verdict

Blood Assurance runs at 162% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Blood banks workplace, earning a grade D.

Blood Assurance: 6.2 TCR = 162% of Blood banks BLS 3.8 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Blood Assurance safety composite

Blood Assurance scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 17%), 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).
