The verdict

Farm runs at 79% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Mushroom farming workplace, earning a grade B.

Farm: 3.5 TCR = 79% of Mushroom farming BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Farm safety composite

Farm scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
