The verdict

ZF Chassis Components runs at 120% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Automotive, truck and bus suspension assemblies and parts (except springs) manufacturing workplace, earning a grade C.

ZF Chassis Components: 6.5 TCR = 120% of Automotive, truck and bus suspension assemblies and parts (except springs) manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ZF Chassis Components safety composite

ZF Chassis Components scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 51% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 0%), 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).
