The verdict

Decatur hatchery runs at 73% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade B.

Decatur hatchery: 3.3 TCR = 73% of industry BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Decatur hatchery safety composite

Decatur hatchery scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
