The verdict

HQ Methuen runs at 6% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Semiconductor making machinery manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

HQ Methuen: 0.2 TCR = 6% of Semiconductor making machinery manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

HQ Methuen safety composite

HQ Methuen scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 95% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
