The verdict

ID runs at 54% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical CHEESE MANUFACTURING workplace, earning a grade B.

ID: 1.8 TCR = 54% of CHEESE MANUFACTURING BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ID safety composite

ID scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 89% 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

ID (57 employees, TCR 1.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 130 employees and a TCR of 4.9

ID has fewer employees than the CHEESE MANUFACTURING median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.9. 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.
