The verdict

Aqua Foam runs at 218% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Foam polystyrene products manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Aqua Foam: 7.2 TCR = 218% of Foam polystyrene products manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Aqua Foam safety composite

Aqua Foam scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 11%), 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).

Aqua Foam (18 employees, TCR 7.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 66 employees and a TCR of 3.1

Aqua Foam has fewer employees than the Foam polystyrene products manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.1. 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.
