The verdict

Rust-Oleum runs at 51% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Architectural coatings (i.e., paint) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Rust-Oleum: 1.7 TCR = 51% of Architectural coatings (i.e., paint) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Rust-Oleum safety composite

Rust-Oleum 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).

Rust-Oleum has more employees than the Architectural coatings (i.e., paint) man 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.
