The verdict

EMS Ambulance runs at 211% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Emergency medical transportation services, air or ground workplace, earning a grade F.

EMS Ambulance: 8.0 TCR = 211% of Emergency medical transportation services, air or ground BLS 3.8 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

EMS Ambulance safety composite

EMS Ambulance scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 40%), 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).
