The verdict

Coherent runs at 110% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Comparators, optical, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

Coherent: 3.6 TCR = 110% of Comparators, optical, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Coherent safety composite

Coherent scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 8%), 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).
