The verdict

Highway Department runs at 329% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Repair, highway, road, street, bridge or airport runway workplace, earning a grade F.

Highway Department: 9.2 TCR = 329% of Repair, highway, road, street, bridge or airport runway BLS 2.8 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Highway Department safety composite

Highway Department scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% 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).
