The verdict

XDU runs at 193% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Freight Transportation workplace, earning a grade D.

XDU: 8.7 TCR = 193% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

XDU safety composite

XDU scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 21%), 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).
