The verdict

Polymer Science runs at 77% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Industrial product finishes and coatings (i.e., paint) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Polymer Science: 2.5 TCR = 77% of Industrial product finishes and coatings (i.e., paint) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Polymer Science safety composite

Polymer Science scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 48%), 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).

Polymer Science (48 employees, TCR 2.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 70 employees and a TCR of 2.5

Polymer Science has fewer employees than the Industrial product finishes and coatings median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
