The verdict

21U4 runs at 221% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Automobile merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade F.

21U4: 4.9 TCR = 221% of Automobile merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

21U4 safety composite

21U4 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 41%), 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).

21U4 has fewer employees than the Automobile merchant wholesalers median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.3.
