The verdict

California runs at 319% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Highway construction workplace, earning a grade F.

California: 8.9 TCR = 319% of Highway construction BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

California safety composite

California scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 7%), 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).
