The verdict
Plant 21 runs at 50% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Industrial research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade A.
Plant 21: 0.3 TCR = 50% of Industrial research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Plant 21 safety composite
Plant 21 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

Where Plant 21 falls in its industry
319 Industrial research and develo establishmentsSafer than 80% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 0.8.
Narrower to Ohio alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #3 safest of 24 Industrial research and develo employers in Ohio.
Plant 21 has fewer employees than the Industrial research and development labo median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.8. 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.
