The verdict

Processing plant runs at 53% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Poultry slaughtering, dressing, and packing workplace, earning a grade B.

Processing plant: 1.7 TCR = 53% of Poultry slaughtering, dressing, and packing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Processing plant safety composite

Processing plant scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 54%), 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).
