The verdict

EC runs at 26% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Hazardous Waste Transportation, Treatment and Storage workplace, earning a grade A.

EC: 0.7 TCR = 26% of Hazardous Waste Transportation, Treatment and Storage BLS 2.6 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

EC safety composite

EC scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

EC has fewer employees than the Hazardous Waste Transportation, Treatmen median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.8. 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.
