The verdict

Cape runs at 743% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Telecommunications carriers, wired workplace, earning a grade F.

Cape: 5.2 TCR = 743% of Telecommunications carriers, wired BLS 0.7 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cape safety composite

Cape scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 28%), 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).
