The verdict

UW Tacoma runs at 91% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Universities workplace, earning a grade C.

UW Tacoma: 1.3 TCR = 91% of Universities BLS 1.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

UW Tacoma safety composite

UW Tacoma scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 60% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 9%), 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).

More dangerous than peersSafer than peers

Narrower to Washington alone (the establishments it most directly competes with for workers and contracts): ranked #8 safest of 15 Universities employers in Washington.

UW Tacoma (1,104 employees, TCR 1.3) among 29 same-industry peers, split at the industry median of 617 employees and a TCR of 1.5

UW Tacoma has more employees than the Universities median and a lower 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.
