The verdict

HEADQ: 0.8 TCR = 38% of Industrial Supplies Merchant Wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HEADQ safety composite

HEADQ scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 87% 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).
