The verdict

Water Administration runs at 568% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Water treatment plants workplace, earning a grade F.

Water Administration: 6.8 TCR = 568% of Water treatment plants BLS 1.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Water Administration safety composite

Water Administration scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 25%), 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).

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Iowa alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #13 safest of 18 Water treatment plants employers in Iowa.

Water Administration (47 employees, TCR 6.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 53 employees and a TCR of 4.2

Water Administration has fewer employees than the Water treatment plants median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.2. 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.
