The verdict

Colorado runs at 87% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Excavation contractors workplace, earning a grade C.

Colorado: 2.4 TCR = 87% of Excavation contractors BLS 2.8 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Colorado safety composite

Colorado scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 51%), 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).
