The verdict

Food Service runs at 910% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical General Government workplace, earning a grade F.

Food Service: 12.7 TCR = 910% of General Government BLS 1.4 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Food Service safety composite

Food Service scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 3%), 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).
