The verdict

Tiffen runs at 61% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Photographic lenses manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Tiffen: 2.0 TCR = 61% of Photographic lenses manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Tiffen safety composite

Tiffen scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
