Organic Dyes and Pigments - Union: 4.1 TCR = 124% of Acid dyes, synthetic organic, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Organic Dyes and Pigments - Union safety composite

Organic Dyes and Pigments - Union scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 33%), 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).
