The verdict
BASF Engineering Plastics Compounding runs at 21% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Thermoplastic resins and plastics materials manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.
BASF Engineering Plastics Compounding: 0.7 TCR = 21% of Thermoplastic resins and plastics materials manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)
BASF Engineering Plastics Compounding safety composite
BASF Engineering Plastics Compounding scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
