The verdict

Permian Basin runs at 25% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Petroleum, crude, production (i.e., extraction) workplace, earning a grade A.

Permian Basin: 0.5 TCR = 25% of Petroleum, crude, production (i.e., extraction) BLS 1.9 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Permian Basin safety composite

Permian Basin scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 40%), 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).
