The verdict

HQ: 7.4 TCR = 225% of Corrugated and solid fiber box manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HQ safety composite

HQ scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 6%), 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).
