The verdict

449 runs at 137% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical Automotive Parts and Accessories Retailers workplace, earning a grade D.

449: 4.7 TCR = 137% of Automotive Parts and Accessories Retailers BLS 3.4 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

449 safety composite

449 scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
