The verdict

Life Technologies Corporation runs at 40% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Life Technologies Corporation: 1.3 TCR = 40% of Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Life Technologies Corporation safety composite

Life Technologies Corporation scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 44%), 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).
