Trend analysis for Central Alabama Wood Products, LLC

Between 2016 and 2024, Central Alabama Wood Products, LLC's Total Case Rate improved from 12.2 to 6.1 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 50% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 2.6, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 21.5, a spread of 18.9 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, Central Alabama Wood Products, LLC recorded 63 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.

3 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 130,994 hours worked = 4.58 DART
