The verdict

NOVA runs at 407% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Ambulance services, air or ground workplace, earning a grade F.

NOVA: 15.5 TCR = 407% of Ambulance services, air or ground BLS 3.8 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

NOVA safety composite

NOVA scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 89% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 17%), 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).

NOVA (51 employees, TCR 15.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 72 employees and a TCR of 8.3

NOVA has fewer employees than the Ambulance services, air or ground median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 8.3. 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.
