The verdict

Project Kansas runs at 33% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Mechanical contractors workplace, earning a grade A.

Project Kansas: 0.9 TCR = 33% of Mechanical contractors BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Project Kansas safety composite

Project Kansas scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 89% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).
