The verdict

MER runs at 147% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical home health care workplace, earning a grade D.

MER: 7.6 TCR = 147% of home health care BLS 5.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MER safety composite

MER scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 19%), 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).

MER has fewer employees than the home health care median and a higher 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.
