The verdict

Ultra Optics runs at 76% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Primers, paint, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade B.

Ultra Optics: 2.5 TCR = 76% of Primers, paint, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ultra Optics safety composite

Ultra Optics scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 79% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 48%), 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).
