The verdict

Keystone Protein runs at 135% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Fats, animal, rendering workplace, earning a grade D.

Keystone Protein: 4.5 TCR = 135% of Fats, animal, rendering BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Keystone Protein safety composite

Keystone Protein scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 44%), 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).
