The verdict

MSsteel runs at 190% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Steel manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

MSsteel: 6.3 TCR = 190% of Steel manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MSsteel safety composite

MSsteel scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 20%), 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).
