The verdict

HVAC runs at 133% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Plumbing and heating contractors workplace, earning a grade D.

HVAC: 3.7 TCR = 133% of Plumbing and heating 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 32%), 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).
