Five Guys: 12.8 TCR = 428% of Fast-food restaurants BLS 3.0 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Five Guys safety composite

Five Guys scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 2%), 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 F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Colorado alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #5 safest of 5 Fast-food restaurants employers in Colorado.

Five Guys (20 employees, TCR 12.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 34 employees and a TCR of 4.8

Five Guys has fewer employees than the Fast-food restaurants median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.8. 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.
