The verdict

COL runs at 118% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical General freight trucking, long-distance, less-than-truckload (LTL) workplace, earning a grade C.

COL: 5.3 TCR = 118% of General freight trucking, long-distance, less-than-truckload (LTL) BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

COL safety composite

COL scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 17%), 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).
