The verdict

MEROP runs at 60% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Hospice workplace, earning a grade B.

MEROP: 3.1 TCR = 60% of Hospice BLS 5.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MEROP safety composite

MEROP scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 83% 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Where MEROP falls in its industry

3,635 Hospice establishments

Safer than 66% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 4.4.

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #57 safest of 188 Hospice employers in California.

MEROP (18 employees, TCR 3.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 72 employees and a TCR of 4.4

MEROP has fewer employees than the Hospice 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.
