The verdict

First Student runs at 110% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical School bus services workplace, earning a grade C.

First Student: 5.0 TCR = 110% of School bus services BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

First Student safety composite

First Student scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 41%), 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 Georgia alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #5 safest of 7 School bus services employers in Georgia.

First Student (59 employees, TCR 5.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 74 employees and a TCR of 4.3

First Student has fewer employees than the School bus services 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.
