The verdict

DJ Basin runs at 58% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Natural gas production workplace, earning a grade B.

DJ Basin: 1.1 TCR = 58% of Natural gas production BLS 1.9 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DJ Basin safety composite

DJ Basin scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).
