The verdict

Exemplary Foam runs at 96% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Foam Frabricating workplace, earning a grade C.

Exemplary Foam: 3.2 TCR = 96% of Foam Frabricating BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Exemplary Foam safety composite

Exemplary Foam scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 14%), 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).

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Indiana alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #21 safest of 37 Foam Frabricating employers in Indiana.

Exemplary Foam (69 employees, TCR 3.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 76 employees and a TCR of 3.1

Exemplary Foam has fewer employees than the Foam Frabricating median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.1. 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.
