The verdict

Construction runs at 178% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Excavation contractors workplace, earning a grade D.

Construction: 5.0 TCR = 178% of Excavation contractors BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Construction safety composite

Construction scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 5%), 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 has fewer employees than the Excavation contractors median and a higher 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.
