The verdict

GBC runs at 244% of its industry's injury rate - far more dangerous than the typical Sheet, laminated plastics (except flexible packaging), manufacturing workplace, earning a grade F.

GBC: 8.1 TCR = 244% of Sheet, laminated plastics (except flexible packaging), manufacturing BLS 3.3 · 3y Form 300A (see methodology below)

GBC safety composite

GBC scores strongest on fatalities (safer than 50% of same-industry peers) and weakest on dart rate (safer than 12%), 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).
