Fosta-Tek Optics: 2.8 TCR = 86% of Lenses (except ophthalmic) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fosta-Tek Optics safety composite

Fosta-Tek Optics scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 24%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Massachusetts alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #16 safest of 18 Lenses (except ophthalmic) man employers in Massachusetts.

Fosta-Tek Optics (67 employees, TCR 2.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 80 employees and a TCR of 1.8

Fosta-Tek Optics has fewer employees than the Lenses (except ophthalmic) manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.8. 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.
