The verdict

HPM runs at 39% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Custom compounding (i.e., blending and mixing) of purchased plastics resins workplace, earning a grade A.

HPM safety composite

HPM 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).
