The verdict

Chroma Technology runs at 50% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Comparators, optical, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Chroma Technology: 1.7 TCR = 50% of Comparators, optical, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Chroma Technology safety composite

Chroma Technology scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).
