The verdict

HQ runs at 34% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Air ambulance services workplace, earning a grade A.

HQ: 1.3 TCR = 34% of Air ambulance services BLS 3.8 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HQ safety composite

HQ scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

Where HQ falls in its industry

976 Air ambulance services establishments

Safer than 95% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 8.3.

Grade A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Florida alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #2 safest of 25 Air ambulance services employers in Florida.

HQ (66 employees, TCR 1.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 72 employees and a TCR of 8.3

HQ has fewer employees than the Air ambulance services median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 8.3. 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.
