The verdict

Highway runs at 439% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Road construction workplace, earning a grade F.

Highway: 12.3 TCR = 439% of Road construction BLS 2.8 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Highway safety composite

Highway scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 1%), 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).
