The verdict

EMD Electronics runs at 29% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Sodium silicate (i.e., water glass) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

EMD Electronics: 1.0 TCR = 29% of Sodium silicate (i.e., water glass) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

EMD Electronics safety composite

EMD Electronics scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).

EMD Electronics has fewer employees than the Sodium silicate (i.e., water glass) manu median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.9. 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.
