The verdict

Valent Biosciences Osage runs at 41% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Pesticides manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Valent Biosciences Osage: 1.4 TCR = 41% of Pesticides manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Valent Biosciences Osage safety composite

Valent Biosciences Osage scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).

Valent Biosciences Osage has more employees than the Pesticides manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.1. 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.
