The verdict

Arkon runs at 71% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Arkon: 2.4 TCR = 71% of Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Arkon safety composite

Arkon scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 15%), 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).

Arkon has fewer employees than the Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.8. 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.
