The verdict

Lanxess runs at 38% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Aldehydes manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Lanxess: 1.2 TCR = 38% of Aldehydes manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lanxess safety composite

Lanxess scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% 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).
