The verdict

Public Works runs at 155% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Parks, nature workplace, earning a grade D.

Public Works: 4.8 TCR = 155% of Parks, nature BLS 3.1 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Works safety composite

Public Works scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 65% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 45%), 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).
