The verdict

Laurel Refinery runs at 38% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Petroleum Refineries workplace, earning a grade A.

Laurel Refinery: 1.3 TCR = 38% of Petroleum Refineries BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Laurel Refinery safety composite

Laurel Refinery scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 23%), 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).
