The verdict

PQ - St. Louis runs at 69% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Sodium silicate (i.e., water glass) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

PQ - St. Louis safety composite

PQ - St. Louis 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).

PQ - St. Louis has fewer employees than the Sodium silicate (i.e., water glass) manu median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.9. 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.
