The verdict

Foam molders runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Shipping pads and shaped cushioning, foam plastics (except polystyrene), manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Foam molders: 1.0 TCR = 30% of Shipping pads and shaped cushioning, foam plastics (except polystyrene), manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Foam molders safety composite

Foam molders scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 91% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 42%), 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).
