The verdict

Der-Tex runs at 36% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Foam polystyrene products manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Der-Tex: 1.2 TCR = 36% of Foam polystyrene products manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Der-Tex safety composite

Der-Tex scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 87% 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).

Der-Tex has fewer employees than the Foam polystyrene products manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.1. 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.
