The verdict

HVAC runs at 303% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) contractors workplace, earning a grade F.

HVAC: 8.5 TCR = 303% of HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) contractors BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HVAC safety composite

HVAC scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 9%), 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).

HVAC has fewer employees than the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-condi median and a higher 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.
