The verdict

GEO Specialty Chemicals runs at 66% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Aldehydes manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

GEO Specialty Chemicals: 2.2 TCR = 66% of Aldehydes manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

GEO Specialty Chemicals safety composite

GEO Specialty Chemicals scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 35%), 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).

Where GEO Specialty Chemicals falls in its industry

552 Aldehydes manufacturing establishments

Safer than 35% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.5.

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Pennsylvania alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #17 safest of 34 Aldehydes manufacturing employers in Pennsylvania.

GEO Specialty Chemicals (51 employees, TCR 2.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 73 employees and a TCR of 1.5

GEO Specialty Chemicals has fewer employees than the Aldehydes manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
