The verdict

Star EMS runs at 120% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Ambulance services, air or ground workplace, earning a grade C.

Star EMS: 4.6 TCR = 120% of Ambulance services, air or ground BLS 3.8 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Star EMS safety composite

Star EMS scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 74% 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).
