The verdict

METCO runs at 146% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Environmental testing laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade D.

METCO: 0.7 TCR = 146% of Environmental testing laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

METCO safety composite

METCO scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 71% 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).

METCO has fewer employees than the Environmental testing laboratories or se median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.0. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
