The verdict

MEND runs at 191% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Food banks workplace, earning a grade D.

MEND: 7.3 TCR = 191% of Food banks BLS 3.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MEND safety composite

MEND scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).
