The verdict

The Second City runs at 119% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical industry workplace, earning a grade C.

The Second City: 3.7 TCR = 119% of industry BLS 3.1 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

The Second City safety composite

The Second City scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
