Trend analysis for American Roofing

Between 2018 and 2021, American Roofing's Total Case Rate worsened from 11.2 to 14.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 33% increase across 3 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 10.8, while 2021 saw the highest rate, at 14.8, a spread of 4.1 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 4 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 4 reporting years, American Roofing recorded 46 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 4-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 (2021)

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.

8 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 161,708 hours worked = 9.89 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
