The verdict

Building Department runs at 237% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Local Government workplace, earning a grade F.

Building Department: 7.6 TCR = 237% of Local Government BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Building Department safety composite

Building Department scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 22%), 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).
