The verdict

Construction runs at 268% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Grading, highway, road, street and airport runway workplace, earning a grade F.

Construction: 7.5 TCR = 268% of Grading, highway, road, street and airport runway BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Construction safety composite

Construction scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% 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).

Construction has fewer employees than the Grading, highway, road, street and airpo median and a higher 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.
