Northwest Technical College safety composite

Northwest Technical College scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 4%), 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).

Grade D

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Minnesota alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #28 safest of 47 Academies, college or universi employers in Minnesota.

Northwest Technical College (62 employees, TCR 2.1) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 617 employees and a TCR of 1.5

Northwest Technical College has fewer employees than the Academies, college or university median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5. 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.
