Hershey: 1.6 TCR = 36% of Landscaping BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hershey safety composite

Hershey scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).
