The verdict

HME runs at 89% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Mobile communications equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

HME: 3.0 TCR = 89% of Mobile communications equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HME safety composite

HME scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 17%), 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).

HME (296 employees, TCR 3.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 115 employees and a TCR of 1.1

HME has more employees than the Mobile communications equipment manufact median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.1. 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.
