The verdict

Bli Hq runs at 146% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade D.

Bli Hq: 0.7 TCR = 146% of Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Bli Hq safety composite

Bli Hq scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 76% 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).
