The verdict

Composite Material Division runs at 75% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Epoxy adhesives manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Composite Material Division: 2.5 TCR = 75% of Epoxy adhesives manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Composite Material Division safety composite

Composite Material Division scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 28%), 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).
