The verdict

Merrill Gardens runs at 21% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Drywall contractors workplace, earning a grade A.

Merrill Gardens: 0.6 TCR = 21% of Drywall contractors BLS 2.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Merrill Gardens safety composite

Merrill Gardens scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
