Medtronic UCI safety composite
Medtronic UCI scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 74% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 32%), 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).

Where Medtronic UCI falls in its industry
47 Biology research and developme establishmentsSafer than 74% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 0.9.
Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #1 safest of 6 Biology research and developme employers in California.
Medtronic UCI has more employees than the Biology research and development laborat median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
