The verdict

DE Operations runs at 49% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Broiler chicken production workplace, earning a grade A.

DE Operations: 2.2 TCR = 49% of Broiler chicken production BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DE Operations safety composite

DE Operations scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 40%), 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).
