The verdict

Transportation runs at 59% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) workplace, earning a grade B.

Transportation: 2.6 TCR = 59% of General freight trucking, long-distance, truckload (TL) BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Transportation safety composite

Transportation scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 57% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 15%), 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).
