The verdict

Headquarters runs at 16% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Herbicides manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Headquarters: 0.5 TCR = 16% of Herbicides manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Headquarters safety composite

Headquarters 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).
