The verdict

North Bend runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Carbon black manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

North Bend: 1.0 TCR = 30% of Carbon black manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

North Bend safety composite

North Bend scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 74% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 36%), 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 A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Louisiana alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #19 safest of 30 Carbon black manufacturing employers in Louisiana.

North Bend (147 employees, TCR 1.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 61 employees and a TCR of 1.9

North Bend has more employees than the Carbon black manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.9. 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.
