The verdict

Landfill runs at 356% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Landfills workplace, earning a grade F.

Landfill: 9.3 TCR = 356% of Landfills BLS 2.6 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Landfill safety composite

Landfill scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 4%), 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).
