The verdict

MWD runs at 72% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Scientific laboratory equipment merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade B.

MWD: 1.6 TCR = 72% of Scientific laboratory equipment merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MWD safety composite

MWD scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
