The verdict

HI003 runs at 160% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Engineering research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade D.

HI003: 0.8 TCR = 160% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HI003 safety composite

HI003 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 2%), 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).

HI003 (44 employees, TCR 0.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 159 employees and a TCR of 0.8

HI003 has fewer employees than the Engineering research and development lab median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.8. 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.
