The verdict

SJC runs at 188% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Freight Trucking LTL workplace, earning a grade D.

SJC: 8.5 TCR = 188% of Freight Trucking LTL BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

SJC safety composite

SJC scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 8%), 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).
