The verdict

Illumina runs at 15% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Acidity (i.e., pH) measuring equipment, laboratory analysis-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Illumina: 0.5 TCR = 15% of Acidity (i.e., pH) measuring equipment, laboratory analysis-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Illumina safety composite

Illumina scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 85% 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).

Illumina (340 employees, TCR 0.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 133 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Illumina has more employees than the Acidity (i.e., pH) measuring equipment, median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
