The verdict

Research runs at 134% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Granulated beet sugar manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Research: 5.6 TCR = 134% of Granulated beet sugar manufacturing BLS 4.2 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Research safety composite

Research scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 91% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 48%), 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).

Research has fewer employees than the Granulated beet sugar manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 5.6. 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.
