The verdict

California runs at 140% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Fruit sorting, grading, and packing workplace, earning a grade D.

California: 6.3 TCR = 140% of Fruit sorting, grading, and packing BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

California safety composite

California scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 25%), 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).

California has more employees than the Fruit sorting, grading, and packing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.2. 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.
