The verdict
Polymer Injection Molding runs at 80% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Awnings, rigid plastics or fiberglass, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.
Polymer Injection Molding: 2.6 TCR = 80% of Awnings, rigid plastics or fiberglass, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Polymer Injection Molding safety composite
Polymer Injection Molding scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% 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).
