The verdict

Wiggins runs at 70% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Wood Preservation workplace, earning a grade B.

Wiggins: 2.3 TCR = 70% of Wood Preservation BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Wiggins safety composite

Wiggins scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% 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).
