The verdict

Construction runs at 32% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Pavement, highway, road, street, bridge or airport runway, construction workplace, earning a grade A.

Construction: 0.9 TCR = 32% of Pavement, highway, road, street, bridge or airport runway, construction BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Construction safety composite

Construction scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 41%), 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 (65 employees, TCR 0.9) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 69 employees and a TCR of 3.0

Construction has fewer employees than the Pavement, highway, road, street, bridge median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
