The verdict

Highway Department runs at 142% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical General Government workplace, earning a grade D.

Highway Department: 4.0 TCR = 142% of General Government BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Highway Department safety composite

Highway Department scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).

Narrower to Minnesota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #57 safest of 107 General Government employers in Minnesota.

Highway Department (444 employees, TCR 4.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 69 employees and a TCR of 3.0

Highway Department has more employees than the General Government median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
