The verdict

Redblue runs at 146% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical HVAC workplace, earning a grade D.

Redblue: 4.1 TCR = 146% of HVAC BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Redblue safety composite

Redblue scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 36%), 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).

Redblue has fewer employees than the HVAC median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.3. 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.
