The verdict

Public Health runs at 74% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Health statistics centers, government workplace, earning a grade B.

Public Health: 2.4 TCR = 74% of Health statistics centers, government BLS 3.2 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Health safety composite

Public Health scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 76% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #27 safest of 66 Health statistics centers, gov employers in California.

Public Health (253 employees, TCR 2.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 89 employees and a TCR of 2.3

Public Health has more employees than the Health statistics centers, government median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.3. 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.
