The verdict

Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory runs at 262% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Engineering research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade F.

Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory: 1.3 TCR = 262% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory safety composite

Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 5%), 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).

Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory (22 employees, TCR 1.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 159 employees and a TCR of 0.8

Rocky Mountain Scientific Laboratory 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.
