The verdict

EMS runs at 292% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Ambulance and fire service combined workplace, earning a grade F.

EMS: 9.3 TCR = 292% of Ambulance and fire service combined BLS 3.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

EMS safety composite

EMS scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 53% 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).

EMS (26 employees, TCR 9.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 54 employees and a TCR of 9.8

EMS has fewer employees than the Ambulance and fire service combined median and a lower 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.
