The verdict

Ocean runs at 114% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Retail Supermarkets workplace, earning a grade C.

Ocean: 3.9 TCR = 114% of Retail Supermarkets BLS 3.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ocean safety composite

Ocean scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 62% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 36%), 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).
