The verdict

Essentra Components runs at 75% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Hardware, plastics, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Essentra Components: 2.5 TCR = 75% of Hardware, plastics, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Essentra Components safety composite

Essentra Components scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 66% 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).
