Northern Operations: 2.0 TCR = 70% of Commercial building construction BLS 2.9 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Northern Operations safety composite

Northern Operations scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 46%), 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).
