The verdict

Public Works runs at 548% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Government workplace, earning a grade F.

Public Works: 17.5 TCR = 548% of Government BLS 3.2 · 2y 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 4%), 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).

Where Public Works falls in its industry

1,496 Government establishments

Safer than 4% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 4.6.

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Minnesota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #265 safest of 275 Government employers in Minnesota.

Public Works (22 employees, TCR 17.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 93 employees and a TCR of 4.6

Public Works has fewer employees than the Government median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.6. 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.
