The verdict

Communications runs at 22% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical General Government workplace, earning a grade A.

Communications: 0.7 TCR = 22% of General Government BLS 3.2 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Communications safety composite

Communications scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 92% 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).
