The verdict

Owens Corning runs at 40% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Mineral wool products (e.g., board, insulation, tile) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Owens Corning: 1.3 TCR = 40% of Mineral wool products (e.g., board, insulation, tile) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Owens Corning safety composite

Owens Corning scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 69% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 41%), 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).
