Open Range Beef safety composite

Open Range Beef scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 55% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 0%), 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 Nebraska alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #18 safest of 18 Animal slaughtering employers in Nebraska.

Open Range Beef (80 employees, TCR 27.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 297 employees and a TCR of 5.3

Open Range Beef has fewer employees than the Animal slaughtering median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.3. 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.
