The verdict

United Mechanical runs at 53% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Air system balancing and testing workplace, earning a grade B.

United Mechanical: 1.5 TCR = 53% of Air system balancing and testing BLS 2.8 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

United Mechanical safety composite

United Mechanical scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
