The verdict

4Ram Polymers runs at 144% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Injection molding machinery for plastics manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

4Ram Polymers: 4.8 TCR = 144% of Injection molding machinery for plastics manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

4Ram Polymers safety composite

4Ram Polymers scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 15%), 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).
