Northern Technologies HQ: 0.9 TCR = 27% of Inhibitors (e.g., corrosion, oxidation, polymerization) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Northern Technologies HQ safety composite
Northern Technologies HQ scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 43%), 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).
