The verdict

Ryerson runs at 201% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Metal Service Center workplace, earning a grade F.

Ryerson: 4.4 TCR = 201% of Metal Service Center BLS 2.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ryerson safety composite

Ryerson scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 35%), 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).
