Monterey Bay Farms safety composite

Monterey Bay Farms scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 14%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #33 safest of 86 Planting crops employers in California.

Monterey Bay Farms (40 employees, TCR 3.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 48 employees and a TCR of 3.8

Monterey Bay Farms has fewer employees than the Planting crops median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.8. 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.
