The verdict

Forte Power Systems runs at 40% of its industry's injury rate - far safer than the typical Copper and Aluminum Drawing workplace, earning a grade A.

Forte Power Systems: 1.3 TCR = 40% of Copper and Aluminum Drawing BLS 3.3 · 5y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Forte Power Systems safety composite

Forte Power Systems scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 80% of same-industry peers) and weakest on fatalities (safer than 51%), 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).
