The verdict

CFS-1 runs at 94% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Engineering research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade C.

CFS-1: 0.5 TCR = 94% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CFS-1 safety composite

CFS-1 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 65% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 29%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

CFS-1 held a steady TCR band

CFS-1's TCR held near 0.2 from 0.6 in 2023 to 0.4 in 2024. Peak filing year was 2023 at 0.6 TCR. In 2024, DART was 0.6× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

CFS-1 (721 employees, TCR 0.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 159 employees and a TCR of 0.8

CFS-1 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.
