The verdict

Public works runs at 289% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical General public administration workplace, earning a grade F.

Public works: 9.2 TCR = 289% of General public administration BLS 3.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Public works safety composite

Public works scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 22%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Where Public works falls in its industry

1,496 General public administration establishments

Safer than 22% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 4.6.

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Illinois alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #159 safest of 213 General public administration employers in Illinois.

Public works (135 employees, TCR 9.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 93 employees and a TCR of 4.6

Public works has more employees than the General public administration 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.
