The verdict

SunPower Corp. runs at 35% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Photovoltaic cells manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

SunPower Corp.: 1.2 TCR = 35% of Photovoltaic cells manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

SunPower Corp. safety composite

SunPower Corp. scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 20%), 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).
