The verdict

HSP runs at 117% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical home health care workplace, earning a grade C.

HSP: 6.1 TCR = 117% of home health care BLS 5.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HSP safety composite

HSP scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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).
