The verdict

HFD runs at 13% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Caissons, underwater work, heavy gauge metal, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

HFD: 0.4 TCR = 13% of Caissons, underwater work, heavy gauge metal, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HFD safety composite

HFD scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 97% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
