Safety Insights for American Fine Sinter Co., Ltd
American Fine Sinter Co., Ltd operates an establishment with approximately 223 full-time equivalent workers in TIFFIN, OH, classified under the Engines and parts (except diesel), automotive and truck, manufacturing industry (NAICS 336310). Across 8 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 71 recordable injuries, 16 occupational illnesses, and 0 workplace fatalities. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 4.5 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the C letter grade (Average Safety Record).
Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 5.4 for Engines and parts (except diesel), automotive and truck, manufacturing, American Fine Sinter Co., Ltd's workforce experiences 82% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked, a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers, so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR below the benchmark signals that controls, training, or automation may be outperforming peers.
Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 8 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating American Fine Sinter Co., Ltd as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 0, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below. All figures come directly from employer-submitted OSHA Form 300A summaries, there is no modeling, estimation, or third-party adjustment layered on top of the government data.

DART Rate, Transparent Calculation (2024)
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.
7 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 375,078 hours worked = 3.73 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
