The verdict

Corning runs at 33% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Cable splicing, electrical or fiber optic workplace, earning a grade A.

Corning: 0.9 TCR = 33% of Cable splicing, electrical or fiber optic BLS 2.8 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Corning safety composite

Corning scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 83% 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).

Corning (709 employees, TCR 0.9) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 63 employees and a TCR of 2.5

Corning has more employees than the Cable splicing, electrical or fiber opti median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 2.5. Workforce size and injury rate do not always move together within the same industry -- some of its smaller peers run higher rates than its larger ones, and vice versa.
