The verdict

CMC Materials - Flowchem runs at 78% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Elastomers, synthetic rubber, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

CMC Materials - Flowchem: 2.6 TCR = 78% of Elastomers, synthetic rubber, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CMC Materials - Flowchem safety composite

CMC Materials - Flowchem scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 56% 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).
