The verdict

Construction runs at 269% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Pavement, highway, road, street, bridge or airport runway, construction workplace, earning a grade F.

Construction: 7.5 TCR = 269% of Pavement, highway, road, street, bridge or airport runway, construction BLS 2.8 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Construction safety composite

Construction scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 16%), 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).
