The verdict

nLIGHT runs at 45% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Diodes, solid-state (e.g., germanium, silicon), manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

nLIGHT: 1.5 TCR = 45% of Diodes, solid-state (e.g., germanium, silicon), manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

nLIGHT safety composite

nLIGHT scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 22%), 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).
