The verdict

Ovid runs at 35% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Seeds (e.g., field, flower, garden) merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade A.

Ovid: 0.8 TCR = 35% of Seeds (e.g., field, flower, garden) merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ovid safety composite

Ovid scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
