The verdict

Griffith Observatory runs at 83% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical industry workplace, earning a grade C.

Griffith Observatory: 2.6 TCR = 83% of industry BLS 3.1 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Griffith Observatory safety composite

Griffith Observatory scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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 California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #7 safest of 29 industry employers in California.

Griffith Observatory (251 employees, TCR 2.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 81 employees and a TCR of 3.3

Griffith Observatory has more employees than the industry median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.3. 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.
