The verdict

REFCOTEC runs at 43% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Industrial product finishes and coatings (i.e., paint) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

REFCOTEC: 1.4 TCR = 43% of Industrial product finishes and coatings (i.e., paint) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

REFCOTEC safety composite

REFCOTEC scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

REFCOTEC has fewer employees than the Industrial product finishes and coatings median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. 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.
