The verdict
R&D runs at 632% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Industrial research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade F.
R&D: 3.2 TCR = 632% of Industrial research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)
R&D safety composite
R&D scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 5%), 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 R&D falls in its industry
319 Industrial research and develo establishmentsSafer than 8% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 0.8.
Narrower to North Carolina alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #12 safest of 12 Industrial research and develo employers in North Carolina.
R&D has fewer employees than the Industrial research and development labo median and a higher 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.
