The verdict

Polyone runs at 46% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Custom compounding (i.e., blending and mixing) of purchased plastics resins workplace, earning a grade A.

Polyone: 1.5 TCR = 46% of Custom compounding (i.e., blending and mixing) of purchased plastics resins BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Polyone safety composite

Polyone scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 11%), 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).
