The verdict

Advanced Engineering Center runs at 80% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Testing Laboratories workplace, earning a grade B.

Advanced Engineering Center: 0.4 TCR = 80% of Testing Laboratories BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Advanced Engineering Center safety composite

Advanced Engineering Center scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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).

Advanced Engineering Center (561 employees, TCR 0.4) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 81 employees and a TCR of 1.0

Advanced Engineering Center has more employees than the Testing Laboratories median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.0. 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.
