The verdict

Amycel runs at 33% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Mushroom spawn farming workplace, earning a grade A.

Amycel: 1.5 TCR = 33% of Mushroom spawn farming BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Amycel safety composite

Amycel scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 88% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 32%), 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).
