The verdict

IfA-Hilo runs at 416% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Research workplace, earning a grade F.

IfA-Hilo: 2.1 TCR = 416% of Research BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

IfA-Hilo safety composite

IfA-Hilo scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 1%), 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).
