The verdict

XER runs at 153% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Freight Transportation workplace, earning a grade D.

XER: 6.9 TCR = 153% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

XER safety composite

XER scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 90% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 36%), 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).

XER has fewer employees than the Freight Transportation median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.6. 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.
