DuPont Industrial Sciences safety composite
DuPont Industrial Sciences scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 6%), 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).

Where DuPont Industrial Sciences falls in its industry
189 Biotechnology research and dev establishmentsSafer than 6% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 0.8.
Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #49 safest of 51 Biotechnology research and dev employers in California.
DuPont Industrial Sciences has fewer employees than the Biotechnology research and development l 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.
