The verdict

E.S.I. runs at 159% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Erecting structural steel workplace, earning a grade D.

E.S.I.: 4.4 TCR = 159% of Erecting structural steel BLS 2.8 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

E.S.I. safety composite

E.S.I. scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 33%), 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).

E.S.I. (24 employees, TCR 4.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 58 employees and a TCR of 3.9

E.S.I. has fewer employees than the Erecting structural steel median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.9. 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.
