The verdict

Public Defender 600 runs at 174% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Public Defender workplace, earning a grade D.

Public Defender 600: 5.6 TCR = 174% of Public Defender BLS 3.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Defender 600 safety composite

Public Defender 600 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 7%), 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).

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #27 safest of 32 Public Defender employers in California.

Public Defender 600 (88 employees, TCR 5.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 69 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Public Defender 600 has more employees than the Public Defender median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2.
