The verdict
XKO runs at 96% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Freight Transportation workplace, earning a grade C.
XKO: 4.3 TCR = 96% of Freight Transportation BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)
XKO safety composite
XKO scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 32%), 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).
