AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry Morris runs at 28% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Oleic acid esters manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry Morris: 0.9 TCR = 28% of Oleic acid esters manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry Morris safety composite

AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry Morris scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 66% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 38%), 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).
