The verdict

Percival Scientific Inc. runs at 249% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

Percival Scientific Inc.: 8.2 TCR = 249% of Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Percival Scientific Inc. safety composite

Percival Scientific Inc. scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 2%), 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).
