The verdict

EMD Performance Materials runs at 100% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Tint and dye preparations, household-type (except hair), manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

EMD Performance Materials: 3.3 TCR = 100% of Tint and dye preparations, household-type (except hair), manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

EMD Performance Materials safety composite

EMD Performance Materials scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 3%), 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).
