The verdict

IQE-MA runs at 39% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Semiconductor dice and wafers manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

IQE-MA: 1.3 TCR = 39% of Semiconductor dice and wafers manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

IQE-MA safety composite

IQE-MA scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
