Public Works: 8.8 TCR = 275% of General services departments, government BLS 3.2 · 6y 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 total case rate (tcr) (safer than 24%), 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).
