The verdict

BASF Corp - Polyurethanes runs at 72% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Polyurethane resins manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

BASF Corp - Polyurethanes: 2.4 TCR = 72% of Polyurethane resins manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BASF Corp - Polyurethanes safety composite

BASF Corp - Polyurethanes scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 42%), 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).
