The verdict

Slater R&D runs at 21% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Planting crops workplace, earning a grade A.

Slater R&D: 0.9 TCR = 21% of Planting crops BLS 4.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Slater R&D safety composite

Slater R&D scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 88% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
