Iroquois Bio-Energy: 4.3 TCR = 132% of Ethanol Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Iroquois Bio-Energy safety composite

Iroquois Bio-Energy scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 30%), 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).

Iroquois Bio-Energy (42 employees, TCR 4.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 47 employees and a TCR of 3.0

Iroquois Bio-Energy has fewer employees than the Ethanol Manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
