The verdict

Science History Institute: 2.7 TCR = 88% of Historical museums BLS 3.1 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Science History Institute safety composite

Science History Institute scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 59% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 37%), 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).

Grade C

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Pennsylvania alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #2 safest of 8 Historical museums employers in Pennsylvania.

Science History Institute (73 employees, TCR 2.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 81 employees and a TCR of 3.3

Science History Institute has fewer employees than the Historical museums median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.3. 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.
