The verdict

Republic Services runs at 305% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical SOLID WASTE COLLECTION workplace, earning a grade F.

Republic Services: 7.9 TCR = 305% of SOLID WASTE COLLECTION BLS 2.6 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Republic Services safety composite

Republic Services scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 25%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Massachusetts alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #24 safest of 36 SOLID WASTE COLLECTION employers in Massachusetts.

Republic Services (176 employees, TCR 7.9) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 55 employees and a TCR of 5.1

Republic Services has more employees than the SOLID WASTE COLLECTION median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.1. 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.
