The verdict

Chemcut runs at 70% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Wafer processing equipment, semiconductor, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Chemcut: 2.3 TCR = 70% of Wafer processing equipment, semiconductor, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Chemcut safety composite

Chemcut scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 29%), 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).

Chemcut (84 employees, TCR 2.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 100 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Chemcut has fewer employees than the Wafer processing equipment, semiconducto median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
