The verdict

farm labor runs at 86% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Orange groves workplace, earning a grade C.

farm labor: 3.9 TCR = 86% of Orange groves BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

farm labor safety composite

farm labor scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 42%), 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).
