The verdict

Public Defender runs at 33% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Legal Counsel and Prosecution workplace, earning a grade A.

Public Defender: 1.1 TCR = 33% of Legal Counsel and Prosecution BLS 3.2 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Defender safety composite

Public Defender scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).

Public Defender has fewer employees than the Legal Counsel and Prosecution median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2.
