The verdict

First Light Technologies runs at 169% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Automotive light bulbs manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

First Light Technologies: 5.6 TCR = 169% of Automotive light bulbs manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

First Light Technologies safety composite

First Light Technologies scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 19%), 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).
