The verdict

Pixar Animation Studios runs at 160% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Motion picture and video production workplace, earning a grade D.

Pixar Animation Studios: 1.1 TCR = 160% of Motion picture and video production BLS 0.7 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Pixar Animation Studios safety composite

Pixar Animation Studios scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 67% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 45%), 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).

Grade D

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #25 safest of 68 Motion picture and video produ employers in California.

Pixar Animation Studios (1,317 employees, TCR 1.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 468 employees and a TCR of 2.3

Pixar Animation Studios has more employees than the Motion picture and video production median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.3. 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.
