The verdict

AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry runs at 26% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry: 0.9 TCR = 26% of Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry safety composite

AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

AkzoNobel Surface Chemistry has more employees than the Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
