The verdict
Instrumentation Laboratory runs at 28% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Automatic chemical analyzers, laboratory-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.
Instrumentation Laboratory: 0.9 TCR = 28% of Automatic chemical analyzers, laboratory-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Instrumentation Laboratory safety composite
Instrumentation Laboratory scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 37%), 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).

Where Instrumentation Laboratory falls in its industry
213 Automatic chemical analyzers, establishmentsSafer than 60% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.2.
Narrower to Massachusetts alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #15 safest of 33 Automatic chemical analyzers, employers in Massachusetts.
Instrumentation Laboratory has more employees than the Automatic chemical analyzers, laboratory 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.
