The verdict

Elkins runs at 356% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Steam production and distribution workplace, earning a grade F.

Elkins: 4.3 TCR = 356% of Steam production and distribution BLS 1.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Elkins safety composite

Elkins scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 15%), 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).
