The verdict

SDL runs at 388% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Foundation drilling contractors workplace, earning a grade F.

SDL: 10.9 TCR = 388% of Foundation drilling contractors BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

SDL safety composite

SDL scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 4%), 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).

SDL has fewer employees than the Foundation drilling contractors median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. 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.
