The verdict

K&L Microwave runs at 27% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Microwave components manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

K&L Microwave: 0.9 TCR = 27% of Microwave components manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

K&L Microwave safety composite

K&L Microwave scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
