The verdict

Cone runs at 278% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Commercial bakeries workplace, earning a grade F.

Cone: 9.2 TCR = 278% of Commercial bakeries BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cone safety composite

Cone scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 9%), 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).
