The verdict

DPW runs at 624% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Municipality - DPW workplace, earning a grade F.

DPW: 17.5 TCR = 624% of Municipality - DPW BLS 2.8 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DPW safety composite

DPW scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 2%), 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).
