The verdict

PVE C3 - Product Validation Engineering runs at 186% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Engineering research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade D.

PVE C3 - Product Validation Engineering: 0.9 TCR = 186% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

PVE C3 - Product Validation Engineering safety composite

PVE C3 - Product Validation Engineering scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 11%), 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).
