The verdict
Tower Semiconductor runs at 56% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.
Tower Semiconductor: 1.9 TCR = 56% of Semiconductor and Related Device Manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)
Tower Semiconductor safety composite
Tower Semiconductor scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 21%), 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).
38/100
Percentile-weighted across 3 of 3 measures
- Total Case Rate (TCR)
- F 1.85 per 100 workers
Safer than 21% of industry peers
- DART rate
- D 0.25 per 100 workers
Safer than 47% of industry peers
- Fatalities
- D 0
Safer than 51% of industry peers
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%).

Where Tower Semiconductor falls in its industry
437 Semiconductor and Related Devi establishmentsSafer than 21% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 0.9.
Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #96 safest of 128 Semiconductor and Related Devi employers in California.
Tower Semiconductor has more employees than the Semiconductor and Related Device Manufac median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
