The verdict

Farmers Gin runs at 46% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Cotton ginning workplace, earning a grade A.

Farmers Gin: 2.1 TCR = 46% of Cotton ginning BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Farmers Gin safety composite

Farmers Gin scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).
