The verdict

Rho runs at 8% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Life sciences research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology and nanotechnology research and development) workplace, earning a grade A.

Rho: 0.0 TCR = 8% of Life sciences research and development laboratories or services (except biotechnology and nanotechnology research and development) BLS 0.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Rho safety composite

Rho scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 96% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).

Rho has fewer employees than the Life sciences research and development l median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
