Trend analysis for Appalachian Wood Products Inc.
Between 2016 and 2024, Appalachian Wood Products Inc.'s Total Case Rate improved from 5.4 to 2.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 48% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2021, at a TCR of 2.0, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 7.3, a spread of 5.3 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 9 reporting years, Appalachian Wood Products Inc. recorded 83 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 9-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)
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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 284,387 hours worked = 0.70 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
