Highline Nursery safety composite

Highline Nursery scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 26%), 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).

Highline Nursery has fewer employees than the Nursery stock growing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.9.
