The verdict

NexTech Materials, Ltd runs at 20% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Ceramic fiber manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

NexTech Materials, Ltd: 0.7 TCR = 20% of Ceramic fiber manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NexTech Materials, Ltd safety composite

NexTech Materials, Ltd scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 88% 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).
