The verdict

HHI runs at 44% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical home health care workplace, earning a grade A.

HHI: 2.3 TCR = 44% of home health care BLS 5.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HHI safety composite

HHI scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 77% 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).
