The verdict

Camden Lab runs at 1068% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Engineering research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade F.

Camden Lab: 5.3 TCR = 1068% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Camden Lab safety composite

Camden Lab scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 3%), 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).

Camden Lab has fewer employees than the Engineering research and development lab 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.
