The verdict

Gerdau - 01 runs at 80% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Steel Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Gerdau - 01: 2.6 TCR = 80% of Steel Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Gerdau - 01 safety composite

Gerdau - 01 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 50%), 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).
