The verdict

Site #2 runs at 249% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Refuse collecting and operating solid waste landfills workplace, earning a grade F.

Site #2: 6.5 TCR = 249% of Refuse collecting and operating solid waste landfills BLS 2.6 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Site #2 safety composite

Site #2 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 25%), 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).
