The verdict

The BodyWorks runs at 336% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Automotive body shops workplace, earning a grade F.

The BodyWorks: 7.1 TCR = 336% of Automotive body shops BLS 2.1 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

The BodyWorks safety composite

The BodyWorks scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 73% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 16%), 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).

The BodyWorks (24 employees, TCR 7.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 53 employees and a TCR of 3.6

The BodyWorks has fewer employees than the Automotive body shops median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 3.6. 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.
