The verdict

ZF Chassis Systems-Tuscaloosa runs at 33% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Manufacturing workplace, earning a grade A.

ZF Chassis Systems-Tuscaloosa: 1.8 TCR = 33% of Manufacturing BLS 5.4 · 7y Form 300A (see methodology below)

ZF Chassis Systems-Tuscaloosa safety composite

ZF Chassis Systems-Tuscaloosa scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 69% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 24%), 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).
