The verdict

NOLA runs at 102% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Wastewater Treatment workplace, earning a grade C.

NOLA: 1.2 TCR = 102% of Wastewater Treatment BLS 1.2 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NOLA safety composite

NOLA scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 88% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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).
