The verdict

Reliance Metal Center runs at 146% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Steel Distribution workplace, earning a grade D.

Reliance Metal Center: 3.2 TCR = 146% of Steel Distribution BLS 2.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Reliance Metal Center safety composite

Reliance Metal Center scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 57% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 13%), 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).
