The North Star safety composite

The North Star scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 1%), 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).

The North Star (42 employees, TCR 29.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 90 employees and a TCR of 4.0

The North Star has fewer employees than the Homeless shelters median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.0. 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.
