The verdict

Dickson runs at 202% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Industrial research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade F.

Dickson: 1.0 TCR = 202% of Industrial research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Dickson safety composite

Dickson scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 10%), 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).

Dickson (99 employees, TCR 1.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 159 employees and a TCR of 0.8

Dickson has fewer employees than the Industrial research and development labo 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.
