The verdict

Tower Landfill runs at 48% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Dumps, compost workplace, earning a grade A.

Tower Landfill: 1.2 TCR = 48% of Dumps, compost BLS 2.6 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tower Landfill safety composite

Tower Landfill scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 92% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
