Harvard Bioscience Holliston: 1.4 TCR = 41% of Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Harvard Bioscience Holliston safety composite

Harvard Bioscience Holliston scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 43%), 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).
