Roche Brothers Inc.: 2.0 TCR = 45% of Almond farming BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Roche Brothers Inc. safety composite

Roche Brothers Inc. scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 1%), 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).
