The verdict

R & D Leverage runs at 60% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Industrial molds (except steel ingot) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

R & D Leverage: 2.0 TCR = 60% of Industrial molds (except steel ingot) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

R & D Leverage safety composite

R & D Leverage scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 77% 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).
