The verdict

Clariant Corporation West runs at 68% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Carbon inorganic compounds manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Clariant Corporation West: 2.3 TCR = 68% of Carbon inorganic compounds manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Clariant Corporation West safety composite

Clariant Corporation West scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 44%), 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).
