The verdict

Usalco runs at 69% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Aluminum sulfate manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Usalco: 2.3 TCR = 69% of Aluminum sulfate manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Usalco safety composite

Usalco scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 42%), 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).

Usalco has fewer employees than the 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.
