The verdict

REG Life Sciences runs at 326% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade F.

REG Life Sciences: 1.6 TCR = 326% of Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

REG Life Sciences safety composite

REG Life Sciences scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 76% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 25%), 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).

REG Life Sciences (50 employees, TCR 1.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 296 employees and a TCR of 0.8

REG Life Sciences has fewer employees than the Biotechnology research and development l 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.
