Visually Impaired Advancement runs at 44% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Vocational rehabilitation agencies workplace, earning a grade A.

Visually Impaired Advancement: 1.7 TCR = 44% of Vocational rehabilitation agencies BLS 3.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Visually Impaired Advancement safety composite

Visually Impaired Advancement scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 84% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
