The verdict

GLOBALFOUNDRIES Research Technology Park runs at 20% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Microprocessor chip manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

GLOBALFOUNDRIES Research Technology Park: 0.7 TCR = 20% of Microprocessor chip manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

GLOBALFOUNDRIES Research Technology Park safety composite

GLOBALFOUNDRIES Research Technology Park scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% 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).

GLOBALFOUNDRIES Research Technology Park (37 employees, TCR 0.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 216 employees and a TCR of 0.9

GLOBALFOUNDRIES Research Technology Park has fewer employees than the Microprocessor chip manufacturing median and a lower 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.
