The verdict

Construction runs at 55% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Excavation contractors workplace, earning a grade B.

Construction: 1.5 TCR = 55% of Excavation contractors BLS 2.8 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Construction safety composite

Construction scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 17%), 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).

Construction (37 employees, TCR 1.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 51 employees and a TCR of 2.5

Construction has fewer employees than the Excavation contractors median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. 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.
