Trend analysis for Charleston Gate Co
Between 2016 and 2019, Charleston Gate Co's Total Case Rate improved from 4.5 to 2.7 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 41% decrease across 3 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 2.7, while 2016 saw the highest rate, at 4.5, a spread of 1.8 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 4 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 4 reporting years, Charleston Gate Co recorded 10 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 4-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 (2019)
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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 150,116 hours worked = 1.33 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
