The verdict

Hydro Engineering runs at 302% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Rotary tillers, farm-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Hydro Engineering: 10.0 TCR = 302% of Rotary tillers, farm-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hydro Engineering safety composite

Hydro Engineering scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 86% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 16%), 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).

Hydro Engineering (23 employees, TCR 10.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 82 employees and a TCR of 5.2

Hydro Engineering has fewer employees than the Rotary tillers, farm-type, manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.2. 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.
