The verdict

E&R Powder Coating runs at 11% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Powder coatings manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

E&R Powder Coating: 0.4 TCR = 11% of Powder coatings manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

E&R Powder Coating safety composite

E&R Powder Coating scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 98% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

E&R Powder Coating has fewer employees than the Powder coatings manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. 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.
