The verdict

PA Location runs at 130% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Chicken hatcheries workplace, earning a grade D.

PA Location: 5.8 TCR = 130% of Chicken hatcheries BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

PA Location safety composite

PA Location scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 29%), 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).
