The verdict

QA Systems runs at 28% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Sound equipment installation workplace, earning a grade A.

QA Systems: 0.8 TCR = 28% of Sound equipment installation BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

QA Systems safety composite

QA Systems scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

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.
