The verdict

Public Safety runs at 357% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Police and fire departments, combined workplace, earning a grade F.

Public Safety: 11.4 TCR = 357% of Police and fire departments, combined BLS 3.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Safety safety composite

Public Safety scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 39%), 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 Safety (48 employees, TCR 11.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 95 employees and a TCR of 9.5

Public Safety has fewer employees than the Police and fire departments, combined median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 9.5. 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.
