The verdict

Criterion Catalysts runs at 62% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Aluminum compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Criterion Catalysts: 2.0 TCR = 62% of Aluminum compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Criterion Catalysts safety composite

Criterion Catalysts scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 25%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Criterion Catalysts held a steady TCR band

Criterion Catalysts's TCR held near 0.0 from 2.0 in 2017 to 2.1 in 2018. In 2018, DART was 1× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).
