The verdict

Communications runs at 87% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Fire and rescue service workplace, earning a grade C.

Communications: 2.8 TCR = 87% of Fire and rescue service BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Communications safety composite

Communications scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 91% 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).

Where Communications falls in its industry

793 Fire and rescue service establishments

Safer than 91% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 9.8.

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Virginia alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #1 safest of 29 Fire and rescue service employers in Virginia.

Communications (19 employees, TCR 2.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 54 employees and a TCR of 9.8

Communications has fewer employees than the Fire and rescue service median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 9.8. 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.
