The verdict

DSS runs at 47% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Executive and legislative office combinations workplace, earning a grade A.

DSS: 1.5 TCR = 47% of Executive and legislative office combinations BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DSS safety composite

DSS scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 83% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 55%), 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).

DSS has fewer employees than the Executive and legislative office combina median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.8. 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.
