Thermo Direct Inc safety composite

Thermo Direct Inc scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 33%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to North Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #126 safest of 212 Heating, ventilation and air-c employers in North Carolina.

Thermo Direct Inc (42 employees, TCR 3.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 60 employees and a TCR of 3.3

Thermo Direct Inc has fewer employees than the Heating, ventilation and air-conditionin median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.3. 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.
