The verdict

Manufacturers Chemical runs at 56% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Manufacturers Chemical: 1.9 TCR = 56% of Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Manufacturers Chemical safety composite

Manufacturers Chemical scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% 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).

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Tennessee alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #8 safest of 17 Organo-inorganic compound manu employers in Tennessee.

Manufacturers Chemical (63 employees, TCR 1.9) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 73 employees and a TCR of 1.5

Manufacturers Chemical has fewer employees than the Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
