SA Alloys safety composite
SA Alloys scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 1%), 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).

Where SA Alloys falls in its industry
198 Copper alloys (e.g., brass, br establishmentsSafer than 4% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.7.
Narrower to Pennsylvania alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #21 safest of 22 Copper alloys (e.g., brass, br employers in Pennsylvania.
SA Alloys has fewer employees than the Copper alloys (e.g., brass, bronze) made median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.7. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
