The verdict

Lubrizol Advanced Materials runs at 126% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Surface active agents manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Lubrizol Advanced Materials: 4.2 TCR = 126% of Surface active agents manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lubrizol Advanced Materials safety composite

Lubrizol Advanced Materials scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 20%), 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).
