The verdict

R&D Center runs at 62% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Electronic research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade B.

R&D Center: 0.3 TCR = 62% of Electronic research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

R&D Center safety composite

R&D Center scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 76% 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).

R&D Center has more employees than the Electronic research and development labo 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.
