The verdict

Plastic Manufacturer runs at 103% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Thermoplastic resins and plastics materials manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Plastic Manufacturer: 3.4 TCR = 103% of Thermoplastic resins and plastics materials manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plastic Manufacturer safety composite

Plastic Manufacturer scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 30%), 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).
