The verdict

Packing runs at 190% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Mushroom farming workplace, earning a grade D.

Packing: 8.5 TCR = 190% of Mushroom farming BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Packing safety composite

Packing scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 14%), 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).
