The verdict

Wafab International runs at 132% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Etching equipment, semiconductor, manufacturing workplace, earning a grade D.

Wafab International: 4.3 TCR = 132% of Etching equipment, semiconductor, manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Wafab International safety composite

Wafab International scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 78% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 10%), 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).

Where Wafab International falls in its industry

133 Etching equipment, semiconduct establishments

Safer than 10% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 1.2.

Grade D

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to California alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #29 safest of 32 Etching equipment, semiconduct employers in California.

Wafab International (29 employees, TCR 4.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 100 employees and a TCR of 1.2

Wafab International has fewer employees than the Etching equipment, semiconductor, manufa median and a higher 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.
