The verdict

Stepan runs at 0% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Polyester resins manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Stepan: 0.0 TCR = 0% of Polyester resins manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Stepan safety composite

Stepan scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 100% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
