The verdict

HDx-CA runs at 82% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical In-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

HDx-CA: 2.7 TCR = 82% of In-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HDx-CA safety composite

HDx-CA scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 6%), 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).
