The verdict

Plant runs at 206% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Creamery butter manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Plant: 6.8 TCR = 206% of Creamery butter manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Plant safety composite

Plant scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 8%), 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).
