The verdict

Chattanooga Plant 1 runs at 20% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Synthetic rubber (i.e., vulcanizable elastomers) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Chattanooga Plant 1: 0.7 TCR = 20% of Synthetic rubber (i.e., vulcanizable elastomers) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Chattanooga Plant 1 safety composite

Chattanooga Plant 1 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 90% 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).
