The verdict

ADESA : Des Moines runs at 265% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle workplace, earning a grade F.

ADESA : Des Moines: 5.8 TCR = 265% of Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle BLS 2.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ADESA : Des Moines safety composite

ADESA : Des Moines scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 29%), 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).

ADESA : Des Moines has fewer employees than the Automobile and Other Motor Vehicle 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.
