The verdict

DBL Labs runs at 58% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Lenses, ophthalmic, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

DBL Labs: 1.9 TCR = 58% of Lenses, ophthalmic, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

DBL Labs safety composite

DBL Labs scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
