The verdict

Public Works runs at 174% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Landfills workplace, earning a grade D.

Public Works: 4.5 TCR = 174% of Landfills BLS 2.6 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Works safety composite

Public Works scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).

Where Public Works falls in its industry

288 Landfills establishments

Safer than 41% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.9.

Grade D

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to North Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #6 safest of 12 Landfills employers in North Carolina.

Public Works (61 employees, TCR 4.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 32 employees and a TCR of 3.9

Public Works has more employees than the Landfills median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.9. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
