The verdict

Protein Simple runs at 38% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Electrolytic conductivity instruments, laboratory-type, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Protein Simple: 1.3 TCR = 38% of Electrolytic conductivity instruments, laboratory-type, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Protein Simple safety composite

Protein Simple scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 29%), 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).

Protein Simple (216 employees, TCR 1.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 133 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Protein Simple has more employees than the Electrolytic conductivity instruments, l median and a higher 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.
