The verdict

Sunbird runs at 208% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Bird feed, prepared, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Sunbird: 8.1 TCR = 208% of Bird feed, prepared, manufacturing BLS 3.9 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Sunbird safety composite

Sunbird scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 76% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 10%), 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).

Sunbird has fewer employees than the Bird feed, prepared, manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. 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.
