The verdict

HWS runs at 29% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical home health care workplace, earning a grade A.

HWS: 1.5 TCR = 29% of home health care BLS 5.2 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HWS safety composite

HWS scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 86% 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).

HWS has more employees than the home health care median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.4. 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.
