The verdict

Priority 1 Automotive Group runs at 35% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical New Car Dealers workplace, earning a grade A.

Priority 1 Automotive Group: 1.2 TCR = 35% of New Car Dealers BLS 3.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Priority 1 Automotive Group safety composite

Priority 1 Automotive Group scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 91% 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).

Narrower to Maryland alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #3 safest of 36 New Car Dealers employers in Maryland.

Priority 1 Automotive Group (160 employees, TCR 1.2) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 69 employees and a TCR of 3.3

Priority 1 Automotive Group has more employees than the New Car Dealers median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.3. 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.
