The verdict

Valero runs at 5% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Petroleum refineries workplace, earning a grade A.

Valero: 0.2 TCR = 5% of Petroleum refineries BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Valero safety composite

Valero scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 37%), 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).
