The verdict

Leica Biosystems runs at 102% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Diagnostic substances, in-vitro, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Leica Biosystems: 3.4 TCR = 102% of Diagnostic substances, in-vitro, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Leica Biosystems safety composite

Leica Biosystems scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 10%), 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).
