The verdict

Shepherd University runs at 455% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical industry workplace, earning a grade F.

Shepherd University: 13.6 TCR = 455% of industry BLS 3.0 · 4y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Shepherd University safety composite

Shepherd University scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (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).
