The verdict

IL157 runs at 22% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Airborne radio communications equipment manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

IL157: 0.7 TCR = 22% of Airborne radio communications equipment manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 9y Form 300A (see methodology below)

IL157 safety composite

IL157 scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 61% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 29%), 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).

IL157 (656 employees, TCR 0.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 115 employees and a TCR of 1.1

IL157 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.
