The verdict

MDG runs at 97% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Laboratory animal feed manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

MDG: 3.8 TCR = 97% of Laboratory animal feed manufacturing BLS 3.9 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MDG safety composite

MDG scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).

MDG (39 employees, TCR 3.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 36 employees and a TCR of 3.5

MDG has more employees than the Laboratory animal feed manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.5. 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.
