The verdict

HQ runs at 12% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Armature relays manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

HQ: 0.4 TCR = 12% of Armature relays manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HQ safety composite

HQ scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 90% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 48%), 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).
