The verdict

GAC runs at 92% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Alpaca production workplace, earning a grade C.

GAC: 4.1 TCR = 92% of Alpaca production BLS 4.5 · 8y Form 300A (see methodology below)

GAC safety composite

GAC scores strongest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 56% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 49%), 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).
