The verdict

Hills #1 runs at 99% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Grocery stores workplace, earning a grade C.

Hills #1: 3.4 TCR = 99% of Grocery stores BLS 3.4 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hills #1 safety composite

Hills #1 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 87% 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).
