The verdict

First Student runs at 101% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Bus operation, school and employee workplace, earning a grade C.

First Student: 4.5 TCR = 101% of Bus operation, school and employee BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

First Student safety composite

First Student scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 30%), 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).

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Pennsylvania alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #117 safest of 227 Bus operation, school and empl employers in Pennsylvania.

First Student (122 employees, TCR 4.5) 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 Bus operation, school and employee median and a higher 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.
