The verdict

Ellsworth runs at 105% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Planting machines, farm-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Ellsworth: 3.5 TCR = 105% of Planting machines, farm-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ellsworth safety composite

Ellsworth scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 25%), 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).
