The verdict

Branch 51: 1.5 TCR = 67% of Steel Recycling BLS 2.2 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Branch 51 safety composite

Branch 51 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).
