The verdict

LanzaTech runs at 110% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in genetics (except nanobiotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade C.

LanzaTech: 0.6 TCR = 110% of Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services in genetics (except nanobiotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

LanzaTech safety composite

LanzaTech scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 71% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 17%), 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).

LanzaTech has fewer employees than the Biotechnology research and development l median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
