The verdict

EasTex Tower runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Cellular phone tower construction workplace, earning a grade A.

EasTex Tower: 0.8 TCR = 30% of Cellular phone tower construction BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

EasTex Tower safety composite

EasTex Tower scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 47%), 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).
