The verdict

Kind runs at 66% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical General warehousing and storage workplace, earning a grade B.

Kind: 3.8 TCR = 66% of General warehousing and storage BLS 5.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kind safety composite

Kind scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
