The verdict

Apollo Chemical runs at 80% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Surface active agents manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Apollo Chemical: 2.6 TCR = 80% of Surface active agents manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Apollo Chemical safety composite

Apollo Chemical scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 41%), 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).

Apollo Chemical has fewer employees than the Surface active agents manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.7. 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.
