The verdict

CEM Corporation runs at 26% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

CEM Corporation: 0.9 TCR = 26% of 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

CEM Corporation safety composite

CEM Corporation scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 62% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 25%), 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).
