The verdict

Argon Medical Devices runs at 35% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Cannulae manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Argon Medical Devices: 1.2 TCR = 35% of Cannulae manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Argon Medical Devices safety composite

Argon Medical Devices scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 58% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 44%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Illinois alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #17 safest of 30 Cannulae manufacturing employers in Illinois.

Argon Medical Devices (289 employees, TCR 1.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 174 employees and a TCR of 1.5

Argon Medical Devices has more employees than the Cannulae manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
