While I don't have numbers ready to cite, the steel industry is a superb analogue. It, too, is a hazardous production environment. It, too, has production rate as an OKR. I believe deaths in that industry used to measure in the thousands [1].
There's a history, at least in the US, of production rate correlating to fatality rate in certain hazardous industries. That said, one of the most famous steel CEOs (Paul O’Neill at Alcoa) put safety at the forefront and transformed the company and their production [2].
