The verdict

NGC-Jasper Plant runs at 35% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Joint compounds, gypsum based, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

NGC-Jasper Plant: 1.1 TCR = 35% of Joint compounds, gypsum based, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NGC-Jasper Plant safety composite

NGC-Jasper Plant scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 88% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 22%), 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).
