The verdict

Research/Technical Services runs at 159% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Equipment Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Research/Technical Services: 5.3 TCR = 159% of Equipment Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Research/Technical Services safety composite

Research/Technical Services scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% 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).

Research/Technical Services (48 employees, TCR 5.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 85 employees and a TCR of 3.0

Research/Technical Services has fewer employees than the Equipment Manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.0. 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.
