The verdict

South Plant runs at 64% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Sodium aluminum sulfate manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

South Plant: 2.1 TCR = 64% of Sodium aluminum sulfate manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

South Plant safety composite

South Plant scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).

Where South Plant falls in its industry

418 Sodium aluminum sulfate manufa establishments

Safer than 47% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.9.

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Kentucky alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #7 safest of 13 Sodium aluminum sulfate manufa employers in Kentucky.

South Plant (91 employees, TCR 2.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 61 employees and a TCR of 1.9

South Plant has more employees than the Sodium aluminum sulfate manufacturing 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.
