The verdict

Plant 1 runs at 112% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Commercial bakeries workplace, earning a grade C.

Plant 1: 3.7 TCR = 112% of Commercial bakeries BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant 1 safety composite

Plant 1 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 30%), 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).
