The verdict

Meriter Laboratories runs at 5% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Health Care workplace, earning a grade A.

Meriter Laboratories: 0.3 TCR = 5% of Health Care BLS 7.5 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Meriter Laboratories safety composite

Meriter Laboratories scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 99% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 52%), 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).

Meriter Laboratories has fewer employees than the Health Care median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.2. 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.
