The verdict

Borton Fruit runs at 117% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Apple orchards workplace, earning a grade C.

Borton Fruit: 5.3 TCR = 117% of Apple orchards BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Borton Fruit safety composite

Borton Fruit scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 59% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 28%), 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).
