The verdict

HEMS runs at 288% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Emergency medical transportation services, air or ground workplace, earning a grade F.

HEMS: 10.9 TCR = 288% of Emergency medical transportation services, air or ground BLS 3.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HEMS safety composite

HEMS scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 1%), 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).

HEMS (49 employees, TCR 10.9) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 72 employees and a TCR of 8.3

HEMS has fewer employees than the Emergency medical transportation service median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 8.3. 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.
