The verdict

Ashland runs at 15% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Carbon organic compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Ashland: 0.5 TCR = 15% of Carbon organic compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ashland safety composite

Ashland scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 43%), 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).

Ashland has more employees than the Carbon organic compounds, not specified median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
