The verdict

Assembly runs at 16% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Data communications equipment (e.g., bridges, gateways, routers) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Assembly: 0.5 TCR = 16% of Data communications equipment (e.g., bridges, gateways, routers) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Assembly safety composite

Assembly scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 76% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 35%), 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).
