The verdict

VBZ runs at 34% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade A.

VBZ: 1.1 TCR = 34% of industry BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

VBZ safety composite

VBZ scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 54%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Where VBZ falls in its industry

509 industry establishments

Safer than 94% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.5.

Grade A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Arkansas alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #4 safest of 69 industry employers in Arkansas.

VBZ (189 employees, TCR 1.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 619 employees and a TCR of 3.5

VBZ has fewer employees than the industry median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. 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.
