The verdict

IQE-NJ runs at 42% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Wafers (semiconductor devices) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

IQE-NJ: 1.4 TCR = 42% of Wafers (semiconductor devices) manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

IQE-NJ safety composite

IQE-NJ scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 77% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 34%), 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).
