The verdict

Bessemer Plant runs at 45% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Ductile iron foundries workplace, earning a grade A.

Bessemer Plant: 1.5 TCR = 45% of Ductile iron foundries BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bessemer Plant safety composite

Bessemer Plant scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
