The verdict

IQE runs at 12% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Semiconductor dice and wafers manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

IQE: 0.4 TCR = 12% of Semiconductor dice and wafers manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

IQE safety composite

IQE scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 79% 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).
