The verdict

Hi'ipaka runs at 306% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Botanical gardens workplace, earning a grade F.

Hi'ipaka: 9.5 TCR = 306% of Botanical gardens BLS 3.1 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hi'ipaka safety composite

Hi'ipaka 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).

Narrower to Hawaii alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #4 safest of 4 Botanical gardens employers in Hawaii.

Hi'ipaka (68 employees, TCR 9.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 153 employees and a TCR of 6.8
