The verdict

Construction runs at 139% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Commercial building construction workplace, earning a grade D.

Construction: 4.0 TCR = 139% of Commercial building construction BLS 2.9 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Construction safety composite

Construction scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 30%), 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).
