The verdict

WHQ runs at 13% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Transportation Air Cargo workplace, earning a grade A.

WHQ: 0.8 TCR = 13% of Transportation Air Cargo BLS 6.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

WHQ safety composite

WHQ scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 99% 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).
