Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 3.3 for Unit heaters (except portable electric) manufacturing, Chromalox Inc. - Lavergne's workforce experiences 93% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked — a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers — so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR below the benchmark signals that controls, training, or automation may be outperforming peers.
Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 4 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating Chromalox Inc. - Lavergne as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 0, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below.

DART Rate — Transparent Calculation (2019)
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 ÷ 255,798 hours worked = 2.35 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
