The verdict

Chem-Aqua runs at 141% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Water purification equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Chem-Aqua: 4.7 TCR = 141% of Water purification equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Chem-Aqua safety composite

Chem-Aqua scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 22%), 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).
