The verdict

Forward Corporation runs at 94% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical industry workplace, earning a grade C.

Forward Corporation: 3.2 TCR = 94% of industry BLS 3.4 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

Forward Corporation safety composite

Forward Corporation scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 65% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 26%), 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).
