The verdict

McWane Science Center runs at 50% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Science and technology museums workplace, earning a grade A.

McWane Science Center: 1.5 TCR = 50% of Science and technology museums BLS 3.1 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

McWane Science Center safety composite

McWane Science Center scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 43%), 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).

Grade A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Alabama alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #2 safest of 5 Science and technology museums employers in Alabama.

McWane Science Center (81 employees, TCR 1.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 81 employees and a TCR of 3.3

McWane Science Center has more employees than the Science and technology museums median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.3. 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.
