The verdict

Lilly Biotechnology Center runs at 114% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Research and development in the physical- engineering and life sciences (except biotechnology) workplace, earning a grade C.

Lilly Biotechnology Center: 0.6 TCR = 114% of Research and development in the physical- engineering and life sciences (except biotechnology) BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Lilly Biotechnology Center safety composite

Lilly Biotechnology Center scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 19%), 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).

Lilly Biotechnology Center has more employees than the Research and development in the physical median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.8. 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.
