Trend analysis for Atlantic Laboratories INC

Between 2018 and 2024, Atlantic Laboratories INC's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 0.0 to 0.0 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 0% change across 6 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2018, at a TCR of 0.0, while 2021 saw the highest rate, at 6.0, a spread of 6.0 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 7 reporting years, Atlantic Laboratories INC recorded 3 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 7-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.

0 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 37,810 hours worked = 0.00 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping

What this grade means for you

Use this grade as a relative read on Atlantic Laboratories INC's reported OSHA injury record, strong versus its Seaweed processing (e.g., dulse) peers, but not a guarantee about any single site today.

  • At 71% of the Seaweed processing (e.g., dulse) benchmark, Atlantic Laboratories INC reports fewer injuries than typical peers, still worth asking how safety is managed day to day. Know your rights
  • Judge this record against the wider Seaweed processing (e.g., dulse) sector, where injury rates vary widely, before comparing it in isolation. See the industry
  • Grades reflect 2016–2024 filings; check the latest establishment record straight from OSHA, or look up a different employer. Look up another

Safety grades reflect employers' self-reported OSHA Form 300A filings from 2016 to 2024 and can lag current conditions. A grade is not a guarantee that any specific workplace is safe or unsafe today. See our methodology and disclaimer.
