The verdict

Carpinteria runs at 41% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Diagnostic substances, in-vitro, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Carpinteria: 1.3 TCR = 41% of Diagnostic substances, in-vitro, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Carpinteria safety composite

Carpinteria scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 45%), 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).
