The verdict

RealD Boulder runs at 440% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Engineering research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade F.

RealD Boulder: 2.2 TCR = 440% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

RealD Boulder safety composite

RealD Boulder scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 13%), 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).

RealD Boulder (60 employees, TCR 2.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 159 employees and a TCR of 0.8

RealD Boulder has fewer employees than the Engineering research and development lab 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.
