Oakland runs at 54% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Hardware, plastics, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Oakland: 1.8 TCR = 54% of Hardware, plastics, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Oakland safety composite

Oakland scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).
