Fay Industries: 2.4 TCR = 109% of Metals service centers BLS 2.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fay Industries safety composite

Fay Industries scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 46%), 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).
