Trend analysis for CMC Steel California
Between 2018 and 2020, CMC Steel California's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 3.6 to 3.6 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 1% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 3.6, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 4.8, a spread of 1.2 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 3 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 3 reporting years, CMC Steel California recorded 19 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 3-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 (2020)
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.
3 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 279,056 hours worked = 2.15 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
