The verdict

Bayard runs at 284% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Agricultural Cooperative workplace, earning a grade F.

Bayard: 6.2 TCR = 284% of Agricultural Cooperative BLS 2.2 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bayard safety composite

Bayard scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 23%), 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).
