The verdict

Science and Technology Center runs at 466% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Laboratory testing (except medical, veterinary) services workplace, earning a grade F.

Science and Technology Center: 2.3 TCR = 466% of Laboratory testing (except medical, veterinary) services BLS 0.5 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Science and Technology Center safety composite

Science and Technology Center scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 8%), 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).

Where Science and Technology Center falls in its industry

232 Laboratory testing (except med establishments

Safer than 25% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.0.

Grade F

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Michigan alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #29 safest of 31 Laboratory testing (except med employers in Michigan.

Science and Technology Center (95 employees, TCR 2.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 81 employees and a TCR of 1.0

Science and Technology Center has more employees than the Laboratory testing (except medical, vete median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.0. 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.
