The verdict

Phenomenex, Inc. runs at 35% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Liquid chromatographic instruments, laboratory-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Phenomenex, Inc.: 1.2 TCR = 35% of Liquid chromatographic instruments, laboratory-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Phenomenex, Inc. safety composite

Phenomenex, Inc. scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 35%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #24 safest of 51 Liquid chromatographic instrum employers in California.

Phenomenex, Inc. (520 employees, TCR 1.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 133 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Phenomenex, Inc. has more employees than the Liquid chromatographic instruments, labo median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
