PolyScience safety composite
PolyScience scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 20%), 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).

Where PolyScience falls in its industry
322 Temperature instruments, indus establishmentsSafer than 20% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.3.
Narrower to Illinois alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #11 safest of 14 Temperature instruments, indus employers in Illinois.
PolyScience has more employees than the Temperature instruments, industrial proc median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.3. 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.
