Hughes Circuits runs at 77% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Circuit boards, printed, bare, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Hughes Circuits: 2.5 TCR = 77% of Circuit boards, printed, bare, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Hughes Circuits safety composite

Hughes Circuits scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 13%), 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).
