The verdict

ISI Berkeley runs at 350% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Testing laboratories (except medical, veterinary) workplace, earning a grade F.

ISI Berkeley: 1.8 TCR = 350% of Testing laboratories (except medical, veterinary) BLS 0.5 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ISI Berkeley safety composite

ISI Berkeley scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 34%), 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).
