The verdict

ESP runs at 70% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Defoamers and antifoaming agents manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

ESP: 2.3 TCR = 70% of Defoamers and antifoaming agents manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ESP safety composite

ESP scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 78% 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).
