The verdict

LCN runs at 123% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Nursery stock growing workplace, earning a grade D.

LCN: 5.5 TCR = 123% of Nursery stock growing BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

LCN safety composite

LCN scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 7%), 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).
