The verdict

Steel Tool runs at 113% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Aerospace workplace, earning a grade C.

Steel Tool: 3.7 TCR = 113% of Aerospace BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Steel Tool safety composite

Steel Tool scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 16%), 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).

Steel Tool (126 employees, TCR 3.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 155 employees and a TCR of 1.6

Steel Tool has fewer employees than the Aerospace median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.6. 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.
