The verdict

Progressive Protein runs at 219% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Rendering plants workplace, earning a grade F.

Progressive Protein: 7.2 TCR = 219% of Rendering plants BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Progressive Protein safety composite

Progressive Protein scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 28%), 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).

Progressive Protein has more employees than the Rendering plants median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.6. 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.
