The verdict

Kerry runs at 97% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Commercial bakeries workplace, earning a grade C.

Kerry: 3.2 TCR = 97% of Commercial bakeries BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kerry safety composite

Kerry scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 69% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 1%), 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).

Narrower to Illinois alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #19 safest of 59 Commercial bakeries employers in Illinois.

Kerry (160 employees, TCR 3.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 117 employees and a TCR of 4.4

Kerry has more employees than the Commercial bakeries median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.4. 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.
