The verdict

Block Works runs at 252% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Cinder (clinker) block, concrete, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Block Works: 8.3 TCR = 252% of Cinder (clinker) block, concrete, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Block Works safety composite

Block Works scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 17%), 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).
