Technically speaking we don't know if Adam's scar was made on purpose (aka branded) or was it merely a workplace accident. I honestly think that the later is more likely since we have been told that the SDC miners work in terrible conditions and Adam's Amity Arena card hints he used to work in Dust mines.

One dangerously placed heating unit or a machine that heats up while on use and young tired boy tripping thanks to one reason or another (fight, stumpling, trying to get out of the falling rocks way etc) is all scar like that needs.

And true, Adam's hate towards humans hints towards it being done on him on purpose and even if Adam's scar was "just an accident" it still doesn't excuse the horrible safety issues that SDC mines must have.
