The verdict

Kinetic Systems Inc. WAFAB runs at 170% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Semiconductor making machinery manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Kinetic Systems Inc. WAFAB: 5.6 TCR = 170% of Semiconductor making machinery manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Kinetic Systems Inc. WAFAB safety composite

Kinetic Systems Inc. WAFAB scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 5%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Rising injury rate

Kinetic Systems Inc. WAFAB: 3.5 → 7.7 TCR

Peak year 2024 @ 7.7 TCR · DART/TCR 0.55× in 2024

Kinetic Systems Inc. WAFAB's TCR rose 4.2 from 3.5 in 2023 to 7.7 in 2024. In 2024, DART was 0.55× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

Where Kinetic Systems Inc. WAFAB falls in its industry

133 Semiconductor making machinery establishments

Safer than 5% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.2.

Grade D

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #32 safest of 32 Semiconductor making machinery employers in California.

Kinetic Systems Inc. WAFAB (53 employees, TCR 5.6) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 100 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Kinetic Systems Inc. WAFAB has fewer employees than the Semiconductor making machinery manufactu median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
