The verdict

Shelter runs at 109% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Boys' and girls' residential facilities (e.g., homes, ranches, villages) workplace, earning a grade C.

Shelter: 4.1 TCR = 109% of Boys' and girls' residential facilities (e.g., homes, ranches, villages) BLS 3.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Shelter safety composite

Shelter scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (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).
