The verdict

Online Directional Boring runs at 40% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Horizontal drilling (e.g., underground cable, pipeline, sewer installation) workplace, earning a grade A.

Online Directional Boring: 1.1 TCR = 40% of Horizontal drilling (e.g., underground cable, pipeline, sewer installation) BLS 2.8 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Online Directional Boring safety composite

Online Directional Boring scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 73% 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).
