The verdict

Cree Lighting runs at 30% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical LED (light emitting diode) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Cree Lighting: 1.0 TCR = 30% of LED (light emitting diode) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Cree Lighting safety composite

Cree Lighting scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 46%), 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).

Cree Lighting has more employees than the LED (light emitting diode) manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
