HCHA safety composite

HCHA scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

HCHA has fewer employees than the Orthopedic equipment and supplies mercha median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0.
