The verdict

MTKA04 runs at 167% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Semiconductor making machinery manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

MTKA04: 5.5 TCR = 167% of Semiconductor making machinery manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

MTKA04 safety composite

MTKA04 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 5%), 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).

MTKA04 (109 employees, TCR 5.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 100 employees and a TCR of 1.2

MTKA04 has more employees than the Semiconductor making machinery manufactu median and a higher 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.
