The verdict

DMS runs at 148% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical home health care workplace, earning a grade D.

DMS: 7.7 TCR = 148% of home health care BLS 5.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DMS safety composite

DMS scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 13%), 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).
