The verdict

Engineering runs at 77% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Breakwater construction workplace, earning a grade B.

Engineering: 2.2 TCR = 77% of Breakwater construction BLS 2.8 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Engineering safety composite

Engineering scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 18%), 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).
