The verdict

GlaxoSmithKline- RTP runs at 66% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in chemical sciences workplace, earning a grade B.

GlaxoSmithKline- RTP: 0.3 TCR = 66% of Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in chemical sciences BLS 0.5 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

GlaxoSmithKline- RTP safety composite

GlaxoSmithKline- RTP scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 83% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
