The verdict

Sherwood runs at 195% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Lactose manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Sherwood: 6.4 TCR = 195% of Lactose manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Sherwood safety composite

Sherwood scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 89% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 21%), 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).
