The verdict

Medgene runs at 86% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Vaccines (i.e., bacterial, virus) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Medgene: 2.9 TCR = 86% of Vaccines (i.e., bacterial, virus) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Medgene safety composite

Medgene scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 5%), 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).

Medgene has fewer employees than the Vaccines (i.e., bacterial, virus) manufa median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
