The verdict

Fortitude (BSA) runs at 358% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Research and Development in the Physical Engineering and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology) workplace, earning a grade F.

Fortitude (BSA): 1.8 TCR = 358% of Research and Development in the Physical Engineering and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology) BLS 0.5 · 2y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Fortitude (BSA) safety composite

Fortitude (BSA) scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 70% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 21%), 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).
