The verdict

C6-MD runs at 438% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Life sciences research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade F.

C6-MD: 2.2 TCR = 438% of Life sciences research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

C6-MD safety composite

C6-MD scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 15%), 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).

C6-MD has fewer employees than the Life sciences research and development l median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.8. 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.
