The verdict

MACOM Lowell runs at 33% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Semiconductor devices manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

MACOM Lowell: 1.1 TCR = 33% of Semiconductor devices manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MACOM Lowell safety composite

MACOM Lowell scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 43%), 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).

Where MACOM Lowell falls in its industry

437 Semiconductor devices manufact establishments

Safer than 43% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 0.9.

Grade A

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Massachusetts alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #20 safest of 31 Semiconductor devices manufact employers in Massachusetts.

MACOM Lowell (451 employees, TCR 1.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 216 employees and a TCR of 0.9

MACOM Lowell has more employees than the Semiconductor devices manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
