The verdict

Universal Medical Response runs at 174% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Ambulance services, air or ground workplace, earning a grade D.

Universal Medical Response: 6.6 TCR = 174% of Ambulance services, air or ground BLS 3.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Universal Medical Response safety composite

Universal Medical Response scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 61% 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).

Grade D

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Pennsylvania alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #36 safest of 98 Ambulance services, air or gro employers in Pennsylvania.

Universal Medical Response (23 employees, TCR 6.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 72 employees and a TCR of 8.3

Universal Medical Response has fewer employees than the Ambulance services, air or ground median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 8.3. 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.
