The verdict

Owens Corning runs at 20% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Fiberglass insulation products manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Owens Corning: 0.7 TCR = 20% of Fiberglass insulation products manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Owens Corning safety composite

Owens Corning scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 88% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 40%), 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).
