The verdict

Specialty Materials runs at 209% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Thermoplastic resins and plastics materials manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Specialty Materials: 6.9 TCR = 209% of Thermoplastic resins and plastics materials manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Specialty Materials safety composite

Specialty Materials scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 10%), 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).

Specialty Materials has fewer employees than the Thermoplastic resins and plastics materi median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.0. 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.
