The verdict

RLS runs at 101% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Landscaping Services workplace, earning a grade C.

RLS: 4.5 TCR = 101% of Landscaping Services BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

RLS safety composite

RLS scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 43%), 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).
