The verdict

Applied Medical runs at 53% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Instruments, mechanical microsurgical, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Applied Medical: 1.7 TCR = 53% of Instruments, mechanical microsurgical, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Applied Medical safety composite

Applied Medical scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 43%), 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).
