The verdict

Commercial Asphalt runs at 346% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Road construction workplace, earning a grade F.

Commercial Asphalt: 9.7 TCR = 346% of Road construction BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Commercial Asphalt safety composite

Commercial Asphalt scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 10%), 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).

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to South Dakota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #13 safest of 19 Road construction employers in South Dakota.

Commercial Asphalt (51 employees, TCR 9.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 69 employees and a TCR of 3.0

Commercial Asphalt has fewer employees than the Road construction median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
