Southwestern University safety composite

Southwestern University scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 52% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 12%), 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).

Southwestern University has fewer employees than the Colleges, universities, and professional median and a higher injury rate than the industry's median TCR of 1.5.
