The verdict

Corn Plus runs at 218% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Ethanol Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Corn Plus: 7.2 TCR = 218% of Ethanol Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Corn Plus safety composite

Corn Plus scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 6%), 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).

Corn Plus has fewer employees than the Ethanol Manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
