Recorded fatalities relative to other controllers with a fatal MSHA history. Percentile is computed across the 590 controllers with at least one recorded fatality.
More recorded fatalities than 94% of controllers on file.
Position when controllers are sorted by recorded fatalities.
Industry mean: 2.0 fatalities per fatal-history controller.
Methodology: percentile and rank computed across MSHA controllers with at least one recorded fatality. Industry mean is the average across that same population. Peers are sampled by closest total-incident count, regardless of fatality outcome.
