Ford Steel LLC: 3.5 TCR = 108% of Fabricated structural metal manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ford Steel LLC safety composite

Ford Steel LLC scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 21%), 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).
