The verdict

UW Seattle runs at 93% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Universities workplace, earning a grade C.

UW Seattle: 1.3 TCR = 93% of Universities BLS 1.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

UW Seattle safety composite

UW Seattle scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 57% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 16%), 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).
