The verdict

Pacific Science Center runs at 106% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Science and technology museums workplace, earning a grade C.

Pacific Science Center: 3.3 TCR = 106% of Science and technology museums BLS 3.1 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Pacific Science Center safety composite

Pacific Science Center scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 36%), 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 Science Center has more employees than the Science and technology museums median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.3. 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.
