The verdict

Cepheid runs at 24% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Diagnostic substances, in-vitro, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Cepheid: 0.8 TCR = 24% of Diagnostic substances, in-vitro, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cepheid safety composite

Cepheid scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 32%), 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).
