The verdict

Heartland Community College runs at 51% of its industry's injury rate - safer than the typical Colleges, community workplace, earning a grade B.

Heartland Community College: 0.7 TCR = 51% of Colleges, community BLS 1.4 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Heartland Community College safety composite

Heartland Community College scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 82% 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Illinois alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #6 safest of 34 Colleges, community employers in Illinois.

Heartland Community College (716 employees, TCR 0.7) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 400 employees and a TCR of 1.4

Heartland Community College has more employees than the Colleges, community median and a lower injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.4. 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.
