Balchem Corporation: 1.2 TCR = 30% of Beverage bases manufacturing BLS 4.1 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Balchem Corporation safety composite

Balchem Corporation scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 73% 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).
