The verdict

Division #2 runs at 44% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Electric power transmission line and tower construction workplace, earning a grade A.

Division #2: 1.2 TCR = 44% of Electric power transmission line and tower construction BLS 2.8 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Division #2 safety composite

Division #2 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 3%), 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).
