The verdict

Outward Bound runs at 290% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Group homes, intellectual and developmental disability workplace, earning a grade F.

Outward Bound: 11.0 TCR = 290% of Group homes, intellectual and developmental disability BLS 3.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Outward Bound safety composite

Outward Bound scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 20%), 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).
