The verdict

Heating and Air Conditioning runs at 388% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Boiler, heating, installation workplace, earning a grade F.

Heating and Air Conditioning: 10.9 TCR = 388% of Boiler, heating, installation BLS 2.8 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Heating and Air Conditioning safety composite

Heating and Air Conditioning scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 8%), 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).
