The verdict

NCK runs at 62% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Freight Transportation workplace, earning a grade B.

NCK: 2.8 TCR = 62% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NCK safety composite

NCK scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).

NCK has fewer employees than the Freight Transportation median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.6. 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.
