The verdict

Public Works runs at 466% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Municipal Government workplace, earning a grade F.

Public Works: 14.9 TCR = 466% of Municipal Government BLS 3.2 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public Works safety composite

Public Works scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 2%), 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).
