Mercer-Fraser Company: 2.3 TCR = 83% of Highway construction BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Mercer-Fraser Company safety composite

Mercer-Fraser Company scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 53%), 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).
