The verdict

FOAMit runs at 67% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Chemical processing machinery and equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

FOAMit: 2.2 TCR = 67% of Chemical processing machinery and equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

FOAMit safety composite

FOAMit scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 18%), 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).

FOAMit (64 employees, TCR 2.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 70 employees and a TCR of 3.0

FOAMit has fewer employees than the Chemical processing machinery and equipm median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
