The verdict

Mass Higher Ed runs at 211% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Education workplace, earning a grade F.

Mass Higher Ed: 3.0 TCR = 211% of Education BLS 1.4 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Mass Higher Ed safety composite

Mass Higher Ed scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 82% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
