The verdict

LJS runs at 77% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Freight Transportation workplace, earning a grade B.

LJS: 3.5 TCR = 77% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

LJS safety composite

LJS scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 37%), 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).
