The verdict
Rapid Micro Biosystems runs at 21% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.
Rapid Micro Biosystems: 0.7 TCR = 21% of Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Rapid Micro Biosystems safety composite
Rapid Micro Biosystems scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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 Rapid Micro Biosystems falls in its industry
213 Laboratory analytical instrume establishmentsSafer than 73% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.2.
Narrower to Massachusetts alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #10 safest of 33 Laboratory analytical instrume employers in Massachusetts.
Rapid Micro Biosystems has more employees than the Laboratory analytical instruments (excep median and a lower 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.
