The verdict

EMD Performance Materials runs at 37% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Silica, amorphous, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

EMD Performance Materials: 1.2 TCR = 37% of Silica, amorphous, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

EMD Performance Materials safety composite

EMD Performance Materials scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% 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).

EMD Performance Materials has fewer employees than the Silica, amorphous, manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.9. 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.
