The verdict

Kraft Heinz runs at 99% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Ketchup manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Kraft Heinz: 3.3 TCR = 99% of Ketchup manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kraft Heinz safety composite

Kraft Heinz scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 42%), 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).
