The verdict

Freshway runs at 82% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Produce workplace, earning a grade C.

Freshway: 1.8 TCR = 82% of Produce BLS 2.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Freshway safety composite

Freshway scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 90% 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).

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Ohio alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #12 safest of 54 Produce employers in Ohio.

Freshway (339 employees, TCR 1.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 172 employees and a TCR of 6.1

Freshway has more employees than the Produce median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 6.1. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
