The verdict

26K5 runs at 449% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Automobile merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade F.

26K5: 9.9 TCR = 449% of Automobile merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

26K5 safety composite

26K5 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 7%), 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).

26K5 has fewer employees than the Automobile merchant wholesalers median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 4.3. 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.
