The verdict

Emergency Services: 44.4 TCR = 1389% of Ambulance and fire service combined BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Emergency Services safety composite

Emergency Services scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 0%), 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).

Emergency Services (40 employees, TCR 44.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 54 employees and a TCR of 9.8

Emergency Services has fewer employees than the Ambulance and fire service combined median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 9.8. 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.
