Safety Insights for ORD UNITED GROUND EXPRESS-ORD

ORD UNITED GROUND EXPRESS-ORD operates an establishment with approximately 799 full-time equivalent workers in CHICAGO, IL, classified under the Other Airport Operations industry (NAICS 488119). Across 2 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 95 recordable injuries, 3 occupational illnesses, and 0 workplace fatalities. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 8.9 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the D letter grade (Poor Safety Record).

Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 4.5 for Other Airport Operations, ORD UNITED GROUND EXPRESS-ORD's workforce experiences 198% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked — a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers — so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR above the benchmark flags a higher-than-typical risk profile for jobseekers, insurers, and enforcement agencies to examine.

Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 2 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating ORD UNITED GROUND EXPRESS-ORD as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 0, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below. All figures come directly from employer-submitted OSHA Form 300A summaries — there is no modeling, estimation, or third-party adjustment layered on top of the government data.
