The verdict
Freshway runs at 50% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Produce workplace, earning a grade A.
Freshway: 2.0 TCR = 50% of Produce BLS 4.1 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Freshway safety composite
Freshway scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% 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).
