The verdict

Viking Materials runs at 250% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Metals service centers workplace, earning a grade F.

Viking Materials: 5.5 TCR = 250% of Metals service centers BLS 2.2 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Viking Materials safety composite

Viking Materials scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 57% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 30%), 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).

Viking Materials has more employees than the Metals service centers 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.
