The verdict

Biogen - Cambridge runs at 74% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade B.

Biogen - Cambridge: 0.4 TCR = 74% of Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Biogen - Cambridge safety composite

Biogen - Cambridge scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 78% 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).
