Trend analysis for AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals (Commercial Field-Based Personnel)

Between 2016 and 2018, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals (Commercial Field-Based Personnel)'s Total Case Rate improved from 0.7 to 0.6 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 11% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 0.6, while 2016 saw the highest rate, at 0.7, a spread of 0.1 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 3 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 3 reporting years, AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals (Commercial Field-Based Personnel) recorded 97 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 3-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 (2018)

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.

15 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 8,802,448 hours worked = 0.34 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
