The verdict

First Student runs at 2% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical School bus services workplace, earning a grade A.

First Student: 0.1 TCR = 2% of School bus services BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

First Student safety composite

First Student scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 99% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #3 safest of 119 School bus services employers in California.

First Student (150 employees, TCR 0.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 74 employees and a TCR of 4.3

First Student has more employees than the School bus services median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.3. 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.
