The verdict

Houston-Lang runs at 48% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Architectural Coatings manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Houston-Lang: 1.6 TCR = 48% of Architectural Coatings manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Houston-Lang safety composite

Houston-Lang scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

Houston-Lang has fewer employees than the Architectural Coatings manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. 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.
