The verdict

Home Nursery runs at 129% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Nursery stock growing workplace, earning a grade D.

Home Nursery: 5.8 TCR = 129% of Nursery stock growing BLS 4.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Home Nursery safety composite

Home Nursery scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 36%), 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).
