The verdict

Tri-Fab Steel runs at 53% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Structural steel, fabricated, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Tri-Fab Steel: 1.7 TCR = 53% of Structural steel, fabricated, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tri-Fab Steel safety composite

Tri-Fab Steel scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 84% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
