The verdict

Knoxville runs at 373% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade F.

Knoxville: 8.2 TCR = 373% of industry BLS 2.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Knoxville safety composite

Knoxville scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).
