The verdict

BioLife Solutions runs at 47% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Cytology and histology in-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

BioLife Solutions: 1.5 TCR = 47% of Cytology and histology in-vitro diagnostic substances manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

BioLife Solutions safety composite

BioLife Solutions scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 38%), 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).

Grade A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Washington alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #2 safest of 7 Cytology and histology in-vitr employers in Washington.

BioLife Solutions (91 employees, TCR 1.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 120 employees and a TCR of 1.4

BioLife Solutions has fewer employees than the Cytology and histology in-vitro diagnost median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.4. 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.
