The verdict

Epoxy : Argo runs at 8% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Plastics Material and Resins Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Epoxy : Argo: 0.3 TCR = 8% of Plastics Material and Resins Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Epoxy : Argo safety composite

Epoxy : Argo scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 92% 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).

Epoxy : Argo has fewer employees than the Plastics Material and Resins Manufacturi 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.
