The verdict

56 runs at 427% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle Merchant Wholesalers workplace, earning a grade F.

56: 9.4 TCR = 427% of Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle Merchant Wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

56 safety composite

56 scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 8%), 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).
