The verdict

Amherst runs at 177% of its industry's injury rate - more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade D.

Amherst: 6.0 TCR = 177% of industry BLS 3.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Amherst safety composite

Amherst scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 66% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 34%), 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).
