The verdict

Ag Protein-Est runs at 124% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade D.

Ag Protein-Est: 5.6 TCR = 124% of industry BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ag Protein-Est safety composite

Ag Protein-Est scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 24%), 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).
