The verdict

Zoo Vending runs at 278% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade F.

Zoo Vending: 8.3 TCR = 278% of industry BLS 3.0 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Zoo Vending safety composite

Zoo Vending scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 14%), 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).
