The verdict

DACO runs at 274% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Horizontal drilling (e.g., underground cable, pipeline, sewer installation) workplace, earning a grade F.

DACO safety composite

DACO scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 5%), 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).
