The verdict

Pontchartrain Works runs at 5% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Chloroprene rubber manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Pontchartrain Works: 0.2 TCR = 5% of Chloroprene rubber manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Pontchartrain Works safety composite

Pontchartrain Works scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 97% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
