The verdict

97 runs at 124% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Supermrkts & other grocery stores workplace, earning a grade D.

97: 4.2 TCR = 124% of Supermrkts & other grocery stores BLS 3.4 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

97 safety composite

97 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
