The verdict

NDE runs at 142% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Freight Transportation workplace, earning a grade D.

NDE: 6.4 TCR = 142% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NDE safety composite

NDE scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
