The verdict

Precision Optics runs at 55% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Lenses, ophthalmic, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Precision Optics: 1.8 TCR = 55% of Lenses, ophthalmic, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Precision Optics safety composite

Precision Optics scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 53% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 29%), 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).

Benchmarked live against every credibly-rated employer in the same NAICS industry code in the current OSHA extract (a segment must have at least 8 rated peers to benchmark). Not a legal or compliance determination; PlainSafetyScore's own weighting (TCR 40%, DART 35%, fatalities 25%).

Precision Optics held a steady TCR band

Precision Optics's TCR held near 0.0 from 1.9 in 2020 to 1.9 in 2024. Peak filing year was 2022 at 3.1 TCR. In 2024, DART was 1.04× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

Where Precision Optics falls in its industry

135 Lenses, ophthalmic, manufactur establishments

Safer than 53% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.9.

Grade B

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Minnesota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #5 safest of 16 Lenses, ophthalmic, manufactur employers in Minnesota.

Precision Optics (233 employees, TCR 1.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 113 employees and a TCR of 1.9

Precision Optics has more employees than the Lenses, ophthalmic, manufacturing median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.9. 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.
