The verdict

ZF-Romeo runs at 254% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Research & Development workplace, earning a grade F.

ZF-Romeo: 1.3 TCR = 254% of Research & Development BLS 0.5 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ZF-Romeo safety composite

ZF-Romeo scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 40%), 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).

ZF-Romeo (71 employees, TCR 1.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 112 employees and a TCR of 0.9

ZF-Romeo has fewer employees than the Research & Development median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
