The verdict

Heavy Civil runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Road construction workplace, earning a grade A.

Heavy Civil: 0.8 TCR = 30% of Road construction BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Heavy Civil safety composite

Heavy Civil scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 86% 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).
