The verdict

Excavation runs at 262% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Excavation contractors workplace, earning a grade F.

Excavation: 7.3 TCR = 262% of Excavation contractors BLS 2.8 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Excavation safety composite

Excavation scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 11%), 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).
