The verdict

Covenant Steel runs at 142% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Structural steel, fabricated, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Covenant Steel: 4.7 TCR = 142% of Structural steel, fabricated, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Covenant Steel safety composite

Covenant Steel scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 49%), 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).
