The verdict

USFSO runs at 15% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Etching equipment, semiconductor, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

USFSO: 0.5 TCR = 15% of Etching equipment, semiconductor, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

USFSO safety composite

USFSO scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 75% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 46%), 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).

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%).

Rising injury rate

USFSO: 0.3 → 0.7 TCR

Peak year 2018 @ 0.7 TCR · DART/TCR 0.61× in 2018

USFSO's TCR rose 0.4 from 0.3 in 2017 to 0.7 in 2018. In 2018, DART was 0.61× this establishment's average TCR (severity share of cases).

USFSO (1,710 employees, TCR 0.5) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 100 employees and a TCR of 1.2

USFSO has more employees than the Etching equipment, semiconductor, manufa median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.2. 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.
