The verdict

Pearson runs at 135% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Plumbing and heating contractors workplace, earning a grade D.

Pearson: 3.8 TCR = 135% of Plumbing and heating contractors BLS 2.8 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Pearson safety composite

Pearson scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).

Pearson (55 employees, TCR 3.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 60 employees and a TCR of 3.3

Pearson has fewer employees than the Plumbing and heating contractors median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.3. 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.
