The verdict

MEC runs at 83% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Microwave components manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

MEC: 2.7 TCR = 83% of Microwave components manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MEC safety composite

MEC scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 31%), 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).

MEC (82 employees, TCR 2.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 108 employees and a TCR of 1.8

MEC has fewer employees than the Microwave components manufacturing median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.8. 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.
