The verdict

Health Department runs at 84% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Community health programs administration workplace, earning a grade C.

Health Department: 2.7 TCR = 84% of Community health programs administration BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Health Department safety composite

Health Department scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 76% 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).
