The verdict

Signal Hill runs at 98% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Solid waste collection workplace, earning a grade C.

Signal Hill: 2.6 TCR = 98% of Solid waste collection BLS 2.6 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Signal Hill safety composite

Signal Hill scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 29%), 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).

Signal Hill has fewer employees than the Solid waste collection median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.1. 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.
