The verdict

Leica Biosystems Richmond runs at 31% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Diagnostic substances, in-vitro, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Leica Biosystems Richmond: 1.0 TCR = 31% of Diagnostic substances, in-vitro, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Leica Biosystems Richmond safety composite

Leica Biosystems Richmond scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
