The verdict

Hfo - Hq runs at 229% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Fiber optic cable transmission line construction workplace, earning a grade F.

Hfo - Hq: 6.4 TCR = 229% of Fiber optic cable transmission line construction BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hfo - Hq safety composite

Hfo - Hq scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 13%), 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).
