The verdict

WR Grace runs at 68% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Aluminum compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

WR Grace: 2.3 TCR = 68% of Aluminum compounds, not specified elsewhere by process, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

WR Grace safety composite

WR Grace scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 44% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 1%), 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).
