The verdict

SAFC Biosciences runs at 49% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Culture media manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

SAFC Biosciences: 1.6 TCR = 49% of Culture media manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

SAFC Biosciences safety composite

SAFC Biosciences scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 11%), 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).

SAFC Biosciences (229 employees, TCR 1.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 198 employees and a TCR of 1.2

SAFC Biosciences has more employees than the Culture media manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
