The verdict

USE - Pearson runs at 70% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Wood wool (excelsior) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

USE - Pearson: 2.3 TCR = 70% of Wood wool (excelsior) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

USE - Pearson safety composite

USE - Pearson scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).

USE - Pearson (41 employees, TCR 2.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 44 employees and a TCR of 4.7

USE - Pearson has fewer employees than the Wood wool (excelsior) manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.7. 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.
