The verdict

VWR runs at 78% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Analytical instruments (e.g., chromatographic, photometers, spectrographs) merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade B.

VWR: 1.7 TCR = 78% of Analytical instruments (e.g., chromatographic, photometers, spectrographs) merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

VWR safety composite

VWR scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 63% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 39%), 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).
