Hercules Steel: 2.1 TCR = 62% of Structural steel, fabricated, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hercules Steel safety composite

Hercules Steel scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 43%), 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).
