Kfc 8: 6.7 TCR = 224% of Fast-food restaurants BLS 3.0 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kfc 8 safety composite

Kfc 8 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 33%), 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).

Kfc 8 has fewer employees than the Fast-food restaurants median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.8. 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.
