Utility Services/Construction: 5.7 TCR = 204% of Distribution line, sewer and water, construction BLS 2.8 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Utility Services/Construction safety composite

Utility Services/Construction scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 21%), 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).
