The verdict

Construction runs at 56% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Utility line (i.e., communication, electric power), construction workplace, earning a grade B.

Construction: 1.6 TCR = 56% of Utility line (i.e., communication, electric power), construction BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Construction safety composite

Construction scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
