The verdict

PQ Corporation- Utica runs at 69% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Sodium inorganic compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

PQ Corporation- Utica: 2.3 TCR = 69% of Sodium inorganic compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

PQ Corporation- Utica safety composite

PQ Corporation- Utica scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 43%), 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).
