The verdict

MSE runs at 64% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Photovoltaic cells manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

MSE: 2.1 TCR = 64% of Photovoltaic cells manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MSE safety composite

MSE scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 54% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 16%), 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).

MSE (187 employees, TCR 2.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 216 employees and a TCR of 0.9

MSE has fewer employees than the Photovoltaic cells 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.
