The verdict

BASF Corporation runs at 49% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Surface active agents manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

BASF Corporation: 1.6 TCR = 49% of Surface active agents manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BASF Corporation safety composite

BASF Corporation scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).

Where BASF Corporation falls in its industry

66 Surface active agents manufact establishments

Safer than 50% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.7.

Grade A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Illinois alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #4 safest of 7 Surface active agents manufact employers in Illinois.

BASF Corporation (206 employees, TCR 1.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 69 employees and a TCR of 1.7

BASF Corporation has more employees than the Surface active agents manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.7. 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.
