The verdict

optimal runs at 0% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Petrochemical plant construction workplace, earning a grade C.

optimal: 0.0 TCR = 0% of Petrochemical plant construction BLS 2.8 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

optimal safety composite

optimal scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 100% 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).

optimal (291 employees, TCR 0.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 137 employees and a TCR of 0.7

optimal has more employees than the Petrochemical plant construction median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.7. 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.
