It is adjusted per capita, anything else is pretty meaningless.

The situation doesn’t appear to be improving. In 2023, the SpaceX facility in Brownsville, Texas, for example, reported an injury rate of 5.9 per 100 workers, a notable increase from 4.8 in 2022. Comparatively, the industry average remains significantly lower at 0.8 injuries per 100 workers, according to figures provided by Reuters.

I wonder if this number contains only work injuries, or also other work related accidents such as murdered whistleblowers etc?
