Trend analysis for AZZ Enclosure Systems - Chattanooga

The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 2.3, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 3.1, a spread of 0.8 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.

DART Rate, Transparent Calculation (2020)
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.
2 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 262,536 hours worked = 1.52 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
