The verdict

VHG runs at 202% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Plant, ornamental, growing workplace, earning a grade F.

VHG: 9.1 TCR = 202% of Plant, ornamental, growing BLS 4.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

VHG safety composite

VHG scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).
