The verdict

Callen runs at 160% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Aluminum die-casting foundries workplace, earning a grade D.

Callen: 5.3 TCR = 160% of Aluminum die-casting foundries BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Callen safety composite

Callen scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 41%), 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).
