Vandenberg SFB runs at 64% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Transportation by spacecraft, freight workplace, earning a grade B.

Vandenberg SFB: 2.9 TCR = 64% of Transportation by spacecraft, freight BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Vandenberg SFB safety composite

Vandenberg SFB scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 48%), 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).
