The verdict

Rustburg Lab runs at 1434% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Engineering research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade F.

Rustburg Lab: 7.2 TCR = 1434% of Engineering research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Rustburg Lab safety composite

Rustburg Lab scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 2%), 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).
