The verdict

Calumet runs at 208% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade F.

Calumet: 6.8 TCR = 208% of industry BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Calumet safety composite

Calumet scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
