Associated Fruit Co.: 5.0 TCR = 112% of Pear farming BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Associated Fruit Co. safety composite

Associated Fruit Co. scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 66% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 47%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Oregon alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #5 safest of 22 Pear farming employers in Oregon.

Associated Fruit Co. (32 employees, TCR 5.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 60 employees and a TCR of 6.2

Associated Fruit Co. has fewer employees than the Pear farming median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 6.2. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
