The verdict

Brookings runs at 96% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical industry workplace, earning a grade C.

Brookings: 3.2 TCR = 96% of industry BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Brookings safety composite

Brookings scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 42%), 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).
