The verdict

56th runs at 42% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Dog and Cat Food Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

56th: 1.6 TCR = 42% of Dog and Cat Food Manufacturing BLS 3.9 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

56th safety composite

56th scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).
