The verdict

Independence Operations runs at 276% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Medical Transport workplace, earning a grade F.

Independence Operations: 10.5 TCR = 276% of Medical Transport BLS 3.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Independence Operations safety composite

Independence Operations scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 19%), 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).
