The verdict

Lanxess runs at 64% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Industrial Building Construction workplace, earning a grade B.

Lanxess: 1.9 TCR = 64% of Industrial Building Construction BLS 2.9 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lanxess safety composite

Lanxess scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 32%), 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).
