The verdict

Ford runs at 72% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Automobile dealers, new only or new and used workplace, earning a grade B.

Ford: 2.5 TCR = 72% of Automobile dealers, new only or new and used BLS 3.4 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Ford safety composite

Ford scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 50%), 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).
