The verdict

Valero runs at 119% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Marine Cargo Handling workplace, earning a grade C.

Valero: 5.3 TCR = 119% of Marine Cargo Handling BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Valero safety composite

Valero scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 44%), 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).
