The verdict

Valley Biosystems runs at 8288% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services workplace, earning a grade F.

Valley Biosystems: 41.4 TCR = 8288% of Biotechnology research and development laboratories or services BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Valley Biosystems safety composite

Valley Biosystems scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 76% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 0%), 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).

Valley Biosystems 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.
