Washington runs at 212% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Sod farming workplace, earning a grade F.

Washington: 9.5 TCR = 212% of Sod farming BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Washington safety composite

Washington scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 15%), 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).
