The verdict

Aethercomm runs at 17% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Broadcast equipment (including studio), for radio and television, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Aethercomm: 0.6 TCR = 17% of Broadcast equipment (including studio), for radio and television, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Aethercomm safety composite

Aethercomm scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
