Firewood runs at 170% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Apple orchards workplace, earning a grade D.

Firewood: 7.6 TCR = 170% of Apple orchards BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Firewood safety composite

Firewood scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).
