Trend analysis for Chesapeake Shipbuilding Corp

Between 2017 and 2024, Chesapeake Shipbuilding Corp's Total Case Rate worsened from 9.2 to 17.2 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 88% increase across 7 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 9.2, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 49.1, a spread of 40.0 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, Chesapeake Shipbuilding Corp recorded 245 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.

34 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 893,646 hours worked = 7.61 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping

  • At 594% of the Shipyard (i.e., facility capable of building ships) benchmark, Chesapeake Shipbuilding Corp reports more injuries than typical peers, ask specifically how the employer is reducing them. Know your rights
  • Judge this record against the wider Shipyard (i.e., facility capable of building ships) sector, where injury rates vary widely, before comparing it in isolation. See the industry
