The verdict

Cantex Inc runs at 81% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical PVC pipe manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Cantex Inc: 2.7 TCR = 81% of PVC pipe manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cantex Inc safety composite

Cantex Inc scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 65% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 47%), 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).
