Ovid Plant safety composite

Ovid Plant scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 18%), 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 Michigan alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #11 safest of 13 Whey, condensed, dried, evapor employers in Michigan.

Ovid Plant (120 employees, TCR 4.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 100 employees and a TCR of 3.5

Ovid Plant has more employees than the Whey, condensed, dried, evaporated, and median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. 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.
