Public Works: 7.0 TCR = 251% of Pavement, highway, road, street, bridge or airport runway, 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 17%), 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).
