The verdict

ASI runs at 157% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

ASI: 5.2 TCR = 157% of Laboratory analytical instruments (except optical) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ASI safety composite

ASI scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 6%), 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).

ASI (31 employees, TCR 5.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 133 employees and a TCR of 1.2

ASI has fewer employees than the Laboratory analytical instruments (excep median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
