The verdict

BASF - Vidalia runs at 33% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Aluminum hydroxide (i.e., alumina trihydrate) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

BASF - Vidalia: 1.1 TCR = 33% of Aluminum hydroxide (i.e., alumina trihydrate) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BASF - Vidalia safety composite

BASF - Vidalia scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 69% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 34%), 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).
