Bruker Nano Surfaces - Santa Barbara safety composite
Bruker Nano Surfaces - Santa Barbara scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% 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).
71/100
Percentile-weighted across 3 of 3 measures
- Total Case Rate (TCR)
- B 0.55 per 100 workers
Safer than 81% of industry peers
- DART rate
- B 0 per 100 workers
Safer than 75% of industry peers
- Fatalities
- D 0
