The verdict

Packinghouse runs at 94% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Fruit sorting, grading, and packing workplace, earning a grade C.

Packinghouse: 4.2 TCR = 94% of Fruit sorting, grading, and packing BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Packinghouse safety composite

Packinghouse scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 40%), 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 Packinghouse falls in its industry

666 Fruit sorting, grading, and pa establishments

Safer than 40% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.2.

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Florida alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #12 safest of 17 Fruit sorting, grading, and pa employers in Florida.

Packinghouse (37 employees, TCR 4.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 72 employees and a TCR of 3.2

Packinghouse has fewer employees than the Fruit sorting, grading, and packing median and a higher 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.
