The verdict

Americoats runs at 168% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Powder coatings manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Americoats: 5.5 TCR = 168% of Powder coatings manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Americoats safety composite

Americoats scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 16%), 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).

Americoats has fewer employees than the Powder coatings manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. 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.
