Melrose Packinghouse safety composite

Melrose Packinghouse scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 10%), 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).

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Oregon alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #13 safest of 21 Fruit sorting, grading, and pa employers in Oregon.

Melrose Packinghouse (66 employees, TCR 5.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 72 employees and a TCR of 3.2

Melrose Packinghouse has fewer employees than the Fruit sorting, grading, and packing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.2. 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.
