The verdict

Parks runs at 259% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Parks and recreation commission, government workplace, earning a grade F.

Parks: 8.3 TCR = 259% of Parks and recreation commission, government BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Parks safety composite

Parks scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 26%), 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).
