The verdict

Purple Line 2 Project runs at 41% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Tunnel construction workplace, earning a grade A.

Purple Line 2 Project: 1.2 TCR = 41% of Tunnel construction BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Purple Line 2 Project safety composite

Purple Line 2 Project scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 59% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).
