The verdict
HQ runs at 114% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Retail workplace, earning a grade C.
HQ: 3.9 TCR = 114% of Retail BLS 3.4 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)
HQ safety composite
HQ scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
