The verdict

Cowlitz Operations runs at 334% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Medical Transport workplace, earning a grade F.

Cowlitz Operations: 12.7 TCR = 334% of Medical Transport BLS 3.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cowlitz Operations safety composite

Cowlitz Operations scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 25%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Washington alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #14 safest of 22 Medical Transport employers in Washington.

Cowlitz Operations (23 employees, TCR 12.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 72 employees and a TCR of 8.3

Cowlitz Operations has fewer employees than the Medical Transport median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 8.3. 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.
