The verdict

STEP runs at 236% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Group homes, intellectual and developmental disability workplace, earning a grade F.

STEP: 9.0 TCR = 236% of Group homes, intellectual and developmental disability BLS 3.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

STEP safety composite

STEP scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 4%), 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).

STEP (20 employees, TCR 9.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 65 employees and a TCR of 5.8

STEP has fewer employees than the Group homes, intellectual and developmen median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.8. 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.
