The verdict

CTI-SF runs at 356% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Biology research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade F.

CTI-SF: 1.8 TCR = 356% of Biology research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CTI-SF safety composite

CTI-SF scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 2%), 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).

CTI-SF (21 employees, TCR 1.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 159 employees and a TCR of 0.8

CTI-SF has fewer employees than the Biology research and development laborat 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.
