The verdict

Medtronic UCI runs at 68% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Biology research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology and nanotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade B.

Medtronic UCI: 0.3 TCR = 68% of Biology research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology and nanotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Medtronic UCI held a steady TCR band

Medtronic UCI's TCR held near 0.3 from 0.2 in 2022 to 0.5 in 2023. In 2023, DART was 0.71× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

Medtronic UCI (467 employees, TCR 0.3) among 23 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 232 employees and a TCR of 0.9

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.
