Packing House safety composite
Packing House scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 92% 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).

Where Packing House falls in its industry
666 Fruit sorting, grading, and pa establishmentsSafer than 92% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.2.
Narrower to Virginia alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #1 safest of 8 Fruit sorting, grading, and pa employers in Virginia.
Packing House has fewer employees than the Fruit sorting, grading, and packing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.2. 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.
