The verdict

Abbott Laboratories runs at 119% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical industry workplace, earning a grade C.

Abbott Laboratories: 3.6 TCR = 119% of industry BLS 3.0 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Abbott Laboratories safety composite

Abbott Laboratories scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
