The verdict

GAFCO runs at 100% of its industry's injury rate - about level with the typical Die-cut paper products (except for office use) made from purchased paper or paperboard workplace, earning a grade C.

GAFCO: 3.3 TCR = 100% of Die-cut paper products (except for office use) made from purchased paper or paperboard BLS 3.3 · 6y Form 300A (see methodology below)

GAFCO safety composite

GAFCO scores strongest on dart rate (safer than 81% of same-industry peers) and weakest on total case rate (tcr) (safer than 47%), 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).
