The verdict

9 runs at 392% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical GROCERY STORE workplace, earning a grade F.

9: 13.3 TCR = 392% of GROCERY STORE BLS 3.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

9 safety composite

9 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 6%), 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).
