The verdict

Pacific Diagnostics Laboratories runs at 294% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Medical Laboratory workplace, earning a grade F.

Pacific Diagnostics Laboratories: 11.2 TCR = 294% of Medical Laboratory BLS 3.8 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Pacific Diagnostics Laboratories safety composite

Pacific Diagnostics Laboratories scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 12%), 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).

Pacific Diagnostics Laboratories has more employees than the Medical Laboratory median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
