The verdict

Clear Lake runs at 17% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Acetic acid manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Clear Lake: 0.6 TCR = 17% of Acetic acid manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Clear Lake safety composite

Clear Lake scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

Clear Lake has more employees than the Acetic acid manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
