The verdict

Emergent BioSolutions runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Pharmaceutical preparations (e.g., capsules, liniments, ointments, tablets) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Emergent BioSolutions: 1.0 TCR = 30% of Pharmaceutical preparations (e.g., capsules, liniments, ointments, tablets) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Emergent BioSolutions safety composite

Emergent BioSolutions scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 23%), 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 Maryland alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #4 safest of 12 Pharmaceutical preparations (e employers in Maryland.

Emergent BioSolutions (324 employees, TCR 1.0) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 171 employees and a TCR of 1.6

Emergent BioSolutions has more employees than the Pharmaceutical preparations (e.g., capsu median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.6. 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.
