The verdict

Plant Engineering runs at 703% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Telecommunications carriers, wired workplace, earning a grade F.

Plant Engineering: 4.9 TCR = 703% of Telecommunications carriers, wired BLS 0.7 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant Engineering safety composite

Plant Engineering scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 19%), 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).

Plant Engineering has fewer employees than the Telecommunications carriers, wired median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.3. 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.
