The verdict

Colstrip runs at 18% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Low voltage electrical work workplace, earning a grade A.

Colstrip: 0.5 TCR = 18% of Low voltage electrical work BLS 2.8 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Colstrip safety composite

Colstrip scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 93% 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).

Colstrip has more employees than the Low voltage electrical work median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. 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.
