The verdict

Virgin Hyperloop runs at 164% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Engineering research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade D.

Virgin Hyperloop: 0.8 TCR = 164% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Virgin Hyperloop safety composite

Virgin Hyperloop scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% 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).

Where Virgin Hyperloop falls in its industry

319 Engineering research and devel establishments

Safer than 46% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 0.8.

Grade D

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #16 safest of 32 Engineering research and devel employers in California.

Virgin Hyperloop (250 employees, TCR 0.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 159 employees and a TCR of 0.8

Virgin Hyperloop has more employees than the Engineering research and development lab median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.8. 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.
