The verdict

AZ-CO runs at 4% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Agar culture media manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

AZ-CO: 0.1 TCR = 4% of Agar culture media manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

AZ-CO safety composite

AZ-CO scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 97% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

AZ-CO has more employees than the Agar culture media manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
