The verdict

Apicore runs at 314% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in the medical sciences workplace, earning a grade F.

Apicore: 1.6 TCR = 314% of Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in the medical sciences BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Apicore safety composite

Apicore scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 76% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 26%), 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).

Apicore (64 employees, TCR 1.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 296 employees and a TCR of 0.8

Apicore has fewer employees than the Biotechnology research and development l median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.8. 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.
