The verdict

Flex: 4.3 TCR = 131% of Polyester film and unlaminated sheet (except packaging) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Flex safety composite

Flex scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 32%), 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).
