The verdict

Foam runs at 297% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Seat cushions, foam plastics (except polystyrene), manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Foam: 9.8 TCR = 297% of Seat cushions, foam plastics (except polystyrene), manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Foam safety composite

Foam scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 4%), 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).
