The verdict

Modern runs at 20% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Mechanical contractors workplace, earning a grade A.

Modern: 0.6 TCR = 20% of Mechanical contractors BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Modern safety composite

Modern scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
