The verdict

ADESA runs at 219% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Motor vehicle merchant wholesalers workplace, earning a grade F.

ADESA: 4.8 TCR = 219% of Motor vehicle merchant wholesalers BLS 2.2 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ADESA safety composite

ADESA scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 27%), 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).
