The verdict

Abcam Waltham runs at 28% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical In-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Abcam Waltham: 0.9 TCR = 28% of In-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Abcam Waltham safety composite

Abcam Waltham scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 29%), 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).
