The verdict

W.R. Grace runs at 54% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Aluminum compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

W.R. Grace: 1.8 TCR = 54% of Aluminum compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

W.R. Grace safety composite

W.R. Grace scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 52% 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).
