The verdict

Public Works runs at 268% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Sidewalk, public, construction workplace, earning a grade F.

Public Works: 7.5 TCR = 268% of Sidewalk, public, construction BLS 2.8 · 2y 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 16%), 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).

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Oregon alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #94 safest of 135 Sidewalk, public, construction employers in Oregon.

Public Works (34 employees, TCR 7.5) 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. 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.
