The verdict

Citation runs at 137% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Construction machinery and equipment merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade D.

Citation: 3.0 TCR = 137% of Construction machinery and equipment merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Citation safety composite

Citation scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 22%), 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).
