The verdict

Novozymes -108TW runs at 238% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade F.

Novozymes -108TW: 1.2 TCR = 238% of Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Novozymes -108TW safety composite

Novozymes -108TW scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 76% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 37%), 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).
