Synthego Corporation safety composite
Synthego Corporation scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 25%), 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 Synthego Corporation falls in its industry
189 Biotechnology research and dev establishmentsSafer than 34% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 0.8.
Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #35 safest of 51 Biotechnology research and dev employers in California.
Synthego Corporation has fewer employees than the Biotechnology research and development l 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.
