The verdict

PWHQ runs at 220% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical General public administration workplace, earning a grade F.

PWHQ: 7.0 TCR = 220% of General public administration BLS 3.2 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

PWHQ safety composite

PWHQ scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 32%), 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).

PWHQ (93 employees, TCR 7.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 93 employees and a TCR of 4.6

PWHQ has more employees than the General public administration median and a higher 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.
