American Zinc Recycling: 1.1 TCR = 34% of Zinc dust reclaiming BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

American Zinc Recycling safety composite

American Zinc Recycling scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 88% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

Narrower to South Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #3 safest of 5 Zinc dust reclaiming employers in South Carolina.

American Zinc Recycling (64 employees, TCR 1.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 67 employees and a TCR of 3.7

American Zinc Recycling has fewer employees than the Zinc dust reclaiming median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.7.
