The verdict

CAT Scale runs at 79% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Truck weighing station operation workplace, earning a grade B.

CAT Scale: 3.6 TCR = 79% of Truck weighing station operation BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CAT Scale safety composite

CAT Scale scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 62% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

CAT Scale has more employees than the Truck weighing station operation median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.4. 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.
