The verdict

General Hydroponics runs at 114% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

General Hydroponics: 3.8 TCR = 114% of Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

General Hydroponics safety composite

General Hydroponics scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 56% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 41%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Where General Hydroponics falls in its industry

163 Manufacturing establishments

Safer than 41% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.3.

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #8 safest of 14 Manufacturing employers in California.

General Hydroponics (97 employees, TCR 3.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 43 employees and a TCR of 3.3

General Hydroponics has more employees than the Manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.3. 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.
