The verdict

Electric Power Research Institute runs at 92% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Physical science research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade C.

Electric Power Research Institute: 0.5 TCR = 92% of Physical science research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Electric Power Research Institute safety composite

Electric Power Research Institute scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 66% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 26%), 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).
