The verdict

Classic Optical Laboratories runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Lenses, ophthalmic, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Classic Optical Laboratories: 1.0 TCR = 30% of Lenses, ophthalmic, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Classic Optical Laboratories safety composite

Classic Optical Laboratories scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).
