The verdict

Aquestive runs at 39% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Pharmaceutical preparations (e.g., capsules, liniments, ointments, tablets) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Aquestive: 1.3 TCR = 39% of Pharmaceutical preparations (e.g., capsules, liniments, ointments, tablets) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Aquestive safety composite

Aquestive scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% 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).
