Pilgrim's: 2.9 TCR = 88% of Processed poultry manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Pilgrim's safety composite

Pilgrim's scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 50%), 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).

Pilgrim's has fewer employees than the Processed poultry manufacturing median and a lower 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.
