The verdict

Complex 1 runs at 83% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Egg production, chicken workplace, earning a grade C.

Complex 1: 3.7 TCR = 83% of Egg production, chicken BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Complex 1 safety composite

Complex 1 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 22%), 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).
