The verdict

Ames Construction runs at 29% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Aqueduct construction workplace, earning a grade A.

Ames Construction: 0.8 TCR = 29% of Aqueduct construction BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ames Construction safety composite

Ames Construction scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 91% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
