The verdict

CNUC runs at 56% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Arborist services workplace, earning a grade B.

CNUC: 2.5 TCR = 56% of Arborist services BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CNUC safety composite

CNUC scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 74% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
