The verdict
Microsense - Lowell runs at 25% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Spectrometers (e.g., electron diffraction, mass, NMR, Raman) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

Microsense - Lowell safety composite
Microsense - Lowell scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 75% 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).

Where Microsense - Lowell falls in its industry
213 Spectrometers (e.g., electron establishmentsSafer than 64% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.2.
Narrower to Massachusetts alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #13 safest of 33 Spectrometers (e.g., electron employers in Massachusetts.
Microsense - Lowell has fewer employees than the Spectrometers (e.g., electron diffractio median and a lower 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.
