The verdict

Ralston runs at 160% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Agricultural Cooperative workplace, earning a grade D.

Ralston: 3.5 TCR = 160% of Agricultural Cooperative BLS 2.2 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ralston safety composite

Ralston scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 74% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 50%), 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).
