The verdict

NRO runs at 74% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Freight Transportation workplace, earning a grade B.

NRO: 3.3 TCR = 74% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NRO safety composite

NRO scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% 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).
