The verdict

DETCO runs at 111% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Steel manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

DETCO: 3.7 TCR = 111% of Steel manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DETCO safety composite

DETCO scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 38%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

DETCO held a steady TCR band

DETCO's TCR held near 0.1 from 3.7 in 2017 to 3.6 in 2018. Peak filing year was 2017 at 3.7 TCR. In 2018, DART was 0.33× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

Where DETCO falls in its industry

416 Steel manufacturing establishments

Safer than 38% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 2.7.

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Michigan alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #11 safest of 25 Steel manufacturing employers in Michigan.

DETCO (70 employees, TCR 3.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 155 employees and a TCR of 2.7

DETCO 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.
