The verdict

Kraton runs at 3% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Rubber, synthetic, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Kraton: 0.1 TCR = 3% of Rubber, synthetic, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kraton safety composite

Kraton scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 99% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

Kraton (428 employees, TCR 0.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 85 employees and a TCR of 2.8

Kraton has more employees than the Rubber, synthetic, manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.8. 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.
