The verdict

Val 11 runs at 457% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade F.

Val 11: 15.5 TCR = 457% of industry BLS 3.4 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Val 11 safety composite

Val 11 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 4%), 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).
