Universal City Studios safety composite

Universal City Studios scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 82% 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).

Universal City Studios has more employees than the Motion picture and video production and median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.3.
