The verdict

Home Base runs at 179% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Structural steel, fabricated, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Home Base: 5.9 TCR = 179% of Structural steel, fabricated, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Home Base safety composite

Home Base scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 37%), 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).

Home Base has more employees than the Structural steel, fabricated, manufactur median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.6. 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.
