The verdict

IL156 runs at 7% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Airborne radio communications equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

IL156: 0.2 TCR = 7% of Airborne radio communications equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

IL156 safety composite

IL156 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 87% 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).

IL156 (1,085 employees, TCR 0.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 115 employees and a TCR of 1.1

IL156 has more employees than the Airborne radio communications equipment median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.1. 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.
