The verdict

Operations runs at 60% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Asphalt paving (i.e., highway, road, street, public sidewalk) workplace, earning a grade B.

Operations: 1.7 TCR = 60% of Asphalt paving (i.e., highway, road, street, public sidewalk) BLS 2.8 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Operations safety composite

Operations scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 72% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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).
