The verdict

USL runs at 223% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Freight Transportation workplace, earning a grade F.

USL: 10.0 TCR = 223% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

USL safety composite

USL scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 14%), 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).
