The verdict

HPS runs at 188% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Garden centers workplace, earning a grade D.

HPS: 6.4 TCR = 188% of Garden centers BLS 3.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HPS safety composite

HPS scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
