The verdict

Ameristeel INc runs at 205% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Steel manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Ameristeel INc: 6.8 TCR = 205% of Steel manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ameristeel INc safety composite

Ameristeel INc scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 18%), 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).

Ameristeel INc has fewer employees than the Steel manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.7. 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.
