The verdict

Automotive Safety Center runs at 550% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Engineering Services workplace, earning a grade F.

Automotive Safety Center: 2.8 TCR = 550% of Engineering Services BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Automotive Safety Center safety composite

Automotive Safety Center scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 19%), 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).

Automotive Safety Center (60 employees, TCR 2.8) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 112 employees and a TCR of 0.9

Automotive Safety Center has fewer employees than the Engineering Services median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 0.9. 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.
