The verdict

Plant Three runs at 155% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Condensed, evaporated or powdered whey, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Plant Three: 5.1 TCR = 155% of Condensed, evaporated or powdered whey, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant Three safety composite

Plant Three scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 31%), 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).

Plant Three has fewer employees than the Condensed, evaporated or powdered whey, median and a higher 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.
