The Holden Arboretum safety composite

The Holden Arboretum scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 66% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 22%), 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).

The Holden Arboretum (101 employees, TCR 10.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 153 employees and a TCR of 6.8

The Holden Arboretum has fewer employees than the Arboretums median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 6.8. 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.
