The verdict

Bayer Crop Science RTP runs at 48% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in agriculture workplace, earning a grade A.

Bayer Crop Science RTP: 0.2 TCR = 48% of Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in agriculture BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bayer Crop Science RTP safety composite

Bayer Crop Science RTP scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 87% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).
