The verdict

26K1 runs at 306% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Automobile merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade F.

26K1: 6.7 TCR = 306% of Automobile merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

26K1 safety composite

26K1 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 22%), 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).
