The verdict

Dyno Nobel runs at 80% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Mannitol hexanitrate explosive materials manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Dyno Nobel: 2.6 TCR = 80% of Mannitol hexanitrate explosive materials manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Dyno Nobel safety composite

Dyno Nobel scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 44%), 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).
