The verdict

Engineering Center runs at 316% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Engineering services workplace, earning a grade F.

Engineering Center: 1.6 TCR = 316% of Engineering services BLS 0.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Engineering Center safety composite

Engineering Center scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 33%), 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).

Engineering Center (48 employees, TCR 1.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 112 employees and a TCR of 0.9

Engineering Center has fewer employees than the Engineering services median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
