Penn State Construction safety composite

Penn State Construction scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 22%), blended into one 0-100 breakdown against same-industry peers.

This is a per-dimension breakdown, distinct from the single letter grade above it (which weights TCR alone against the BLS industry benchmark).

Penn State Construction has fewer employees than the Commercial building construction median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.3.
