The verdict

DSM Protective Materials runs at 21% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Cellulosic filament yarn manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

DSM Protective Materials: 0.7 TCR = 21% of Cellulosic filament yarn manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DSM Protective Materials safety composite

DSM Protective Materials scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 82% 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to North Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #2 safest of 6 Cellulosic filament yarn manuf employers in North Carolina.

DSM Protective Materials (374 employees, TCR 0.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 167 employees and a TCR of 2.0

DSM Protective Materials has more employees than the Cellulosic filament yarn manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.0. 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.
