The verdict

VSC runs at 69% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Plumbing and heating contractors workplace, earning a grade B.

VSC: 1.9 TCR = 69% of Plumbing and heating contractors BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

VSC safety composite

VSC scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
