The verdict

JPS runs at 238% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Polycarbonate resins manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

JPS: 7.9 TCR = 238% of Polycarbonate resins manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

JPS safety composite

JPS scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 1%), 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).

JPS has more employees than the Polycarbonate resins manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.0. 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.
