The verdict
Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. runs at 5% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Optoelectronic devices manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.
Applied Optoelectronics, Inc.: 0.1 TCR = 5% of Optoelectronic devices manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. safety composite
Applied Optoelectronics, Inc. scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 94% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
