The verdict

Main Plant safety composite
Main Plant scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 25%), 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).

Where Main Plant falls in its industry
228 Ethanol, nonpotable, manufactu establishmentsSafer than 25% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.0.
Narrower to Minnesota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #17 safest of 22 Ethanol, nonpotable, manufactu employers in Minnesota.
Main Plant has fewer employees than the Ethanol, nonpotable, manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
