The verdict

Princeton R&D runs at 144% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Chemical research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade D.

Princeton R&D: 0.7 TCR = 144% of Chemical research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Princeton R&D safety composite

Princeton R&D scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 26%), 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).

Princeton R&D has more employees than the Chemical research and development labora 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.
