The verdict

Guardian runs at 75% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Motor vehicle towing services workplace, earning a grade B.

Guardian: 3.4 TCR = 75% of Motor vehicle towing services BLS 4.5 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Guardian safety composite

Guardian scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 68% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (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).
