Elanco Larchwood safety composite

Elanco Larchwood scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 4%), 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).

Narrower to Iowa alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #10 safest of 11 Vaccines (i.e., bacterial, vir employers in Iowa.

Elanco Larchwood (83 employees, TCR 6.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 198 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Elanco Larchwood has fewer employees than the Vaccines (i.e., bacterial, virus) manufa median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
