The verdict

Becker runs at 40% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Potato Farming workplace, earning a grade A.

Becker: 1.8 TCR = 40% of Potato Farming BLS 4.5 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Becker safety composite

Becker scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 90% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 54%), 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).
