The verdict

NovaTech runs at 224% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Engineering consulting services workplace, earning a grade F.

NovaTech: 1.1 TCR = 224% of Engineering consulting services BLS 0.5 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NovaTech safety composite

NovaTech scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 43%), 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).

NovaTech (39 employees, TCR 1.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 112 employees and a TCR of 0.9

NovaTech has fewer employees than the Engineering consulting services median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
