The verdict

Nutrien runs at 26% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Phosphatic fertilizer materials manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Nutrien: 0.9 TCR = 26% of Phosphatic fertilizer materials manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Nutrien safety composite

Nutrien scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 72% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 47%), 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).
