Trend analysis for Airpark Plastics

Between 2019 and 2024, Airpark Plastics's Total Case Rate improved from 24.0 to 7.9 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 67% decrease across 5 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 1.1, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 24.0, a spread of 22.9 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a wide swing relative to the establishment's overall rate, worth checking the year-by-year table below for whether a single severe year is driving the average, rather than a sustained trend.

Summed across those 5 reporting years, Airpark Plastics recorded 17 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 5-year trend above alongside establishment size, since a larger workforce naturally accumulates more raw incidents even at a lower per-100-worker rate.

DART Rate, Transparent Calculation (2024)

What is the DART rate formula?

DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) is computed by OSHA as incidents × 200,000 ÷ hours worked. The 200,000-hour denominator equals roughly 100 full-time workers, which lets establishments of very different sizes be compared directly.

2 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 76,104 hours worked = 5.26 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
