The verdict

Tenneco runs at 23% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Automotive, truck and bus suspension assemblies and parts (except springs) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Tenneco: 1.3 TCR = 23% of Automotive, truck and bus suspension assemblies and parts (except springs) manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tenneco safety composite

Tenneco scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 77% 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).
