The verdict

Lydall Performance Materials runs at 86% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Nonwoven fabrics manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Lydall Performance Materials: 2.8 TCR = 86% of Nonwoven fabrics manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lydall Performance Materials safety composite

Lydall Performance Materials scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 42%), 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).
