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).

Tower Semiconductor (830 employees, TCR 1.9) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 216 employees and a TCR of 0.9

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.
