The verdict

Public Library runs at 56% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical General public administration workplace, earning a grade B.

Public Library: 1.8 TCR = 56% of General public administration BLS 3.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Library safety composite

Public Library scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 34%), 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).

Where Public Library falls in its industry

1,496 General public administration establishments

Safer than 77% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 4.6.

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Michigan alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #6 safest of 57 General public administration employers in Michigan.

Public Library (54 employees, TCR 1.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 93 employees and a TCR of 4.6

Public Library has fewer employees than the General public administration median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.6. 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.
