The verdict

Bose Reservoir runs at 116% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Engineering research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade C.

Bose Reservoir: 0.6 TCR = 116% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bose Reservoir safety composite

Bose Reservoir scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

Bose Reservoir (272 employees, TCR 0.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 159 employees and a TCR of 0.8

Bose Reservoir has more employees than the Engineering research and development lab median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.8. 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.
