The verdict

Laurel runs at 34% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Wastewater workplace, earning a grade A.

Laurel: 0.4 TCR = 34% of Wastewater BLS 1.2 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Laurel safety composite

Laurel scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 98% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
