The verdict

Frozen-Chariton runs at 29% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Refrigerated Warehousing and Storage workplace, earning a grade A.

Frozen-Chariton: 1.7 TCR = 29% of Refrigerated Warehousing and Storage BLS 5.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Frozen-Chariton safety composite

Frozen-Chariton scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% 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).
