The verdict
WBS runs at 138% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical home health care workplace, earning a grade D.
WBS: 7.2 TCR = 138% of home health care BLS 5.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)
WBS safety composite
WBS scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 21%), 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).
