Trend analysis for City of El Monte
Between 2017 and 2024, City of El Monte's Total Case Rate improved from 26.8 to 17.7 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 34% decrease across 7 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2024, at a TCR of 17.7, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 30.3, a spread of 12.6 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 6 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 6 reporting years, City of El Monte recorded 376 total injuries and illnesses and 2 fatalities. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 6-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.
20 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 677,740 hours worked = 5.90 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
