The verdict

Water Distribution runs at 688% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Water treatment and distribution workplace, earning a grade F.

Water Distribution: 8.3 TCR = 688% of Water treatment and distribution BLS 1.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Water Distribution safety composite

Water Distribution scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 17%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Illinois alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #41 safest of 60 Water treatment and distributi employers in Illinois.

Water Distribution (22 employees, TCR 8.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 53 employees and a TCR of 4.2

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