The verdict

BOS - Ground Ops runs at 425% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Transportation workplace, earning a grade F.

BOS - Ground Ops: 19.1 TCR = 425% of Transportation BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BOS - Ground Ops safety composite

BOS - Ground Ops scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 8%), 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).
