The verdict

CWS runs at 58% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Freight forwarding workplace, earning a grade B.

CWS: 2.6 TCR = 58% of Freight forwarding BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CWS safety composite

CWS scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 35%), 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).
