BASF - Geismar: 0.4 TCR = 13% of Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BASF - Geismar safety composite

BASF - Geismar scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (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).
