The verdict

Service runs at 90% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Garden maintenance services workplace, earning a grade C.

Service: 4.0 TCR = 90% of Garden maintenance services BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Service safety composite

Service scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 56% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
