The verdict

MCHP Tempe runs at 65% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Microcontroller chip manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

MCHP Tempe: 2.1 TCR = 65% of Microcontroller chip manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MCHP Tempe safety composite

MCHP Tempe scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 15%), 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).
