The verdict

Nursery runs at 120% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Nursery stock growing workplace, earning a grade C.

Nursery: 5.4 TCR = 120% of Nursery stock growing BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Nursery safety composite

Nursery scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 34%), 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).
