The verdict

Genentech SSF runs at 216% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Commercial Physical and Biological Research workplace, earning a grade F.

Genentech SSF: 1.1 TCR = 216% of Commercial Physical and Biological Research BLS 0.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Genentech SSF safety composite

Genentech SSF scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 57% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 12%), 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).

Genentech SSF has more employees than the Commercial Physical and Biological Resea median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
