The verdict

WACO runs at 159% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Apple orchards workplace, earning a grade D.

WACO: 7.2 TCR = 159% of Apple orchards BLS 4.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

WACO safety composite

WACO scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 25%), 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).
