The verdict

Silar Laboratories runs at 86% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Silar Laboratories: 2.8 TCR = 86% of Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Silar Laboratories safety composite

Silar Laboratories scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 25%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to North Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #17 safest of 25 Organo-inorganic compound manu employers in North Carolina.

Silar Laboratories (28 employees, TCR 2.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 73 employees and a TCR of 1.5

Silar Laboratories has fewer employees than the Organo-inorganic compound manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
