HESC: 1.2 TCR = 55% of Orthopedic equipment and supplies merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HESC safety composite

HESC 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).
