The verdict

Public Works runs at 468% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Sidewalk, public, construction workplace, earning a grade F.

Public Works: 13.1 TCR = 468% of Sidewalk, public, construction BLS 2.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Works safety composite

Public Works scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 5%), 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).

Narrower to North Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #117 safest of 120 Sidewalk, public, construction employers in North Carolina.

Public Works (36 employees, TCR 13.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 69 employees and a TCR of 3.0

Public Works has fewer employees than the Sidewalk, public, construction median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0.
