Shady Lane safety composite

Shady Lane scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 12%), 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).

Grade D

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Alabama alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #9 safest of 29 Group homes, intellectual and employers in Alabama.

Shady Lane (34 employees, TCR 5.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 65 employees and a TCR of 5.8

Shady Lane has fewer employees than the Group homes, intellectual and developmen median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.8. 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.
