The verdict

MSW runs at 755% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Distribution of natural gas workplace, earning a grade F.

MSW: 9.1 TCR = 755% of Distribution of natural gas BLS 1.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MSW safety composite

MSW scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 3%), 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).
