Trend analysis for Continental Tire Mt. Vernon
Between 2018 and 2024, Continental Tire Mt. Vernon's Total Case Rate improved from 8.1 to 5.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 32% decrease across 6 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 4.0, while 2019 saw the highest rate, at 8.5, a spread of 4.6 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 6 reporting years, Continental Tire Mt. Vernon recorded 1,266 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. 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.
221 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 8,403,418 hours worked = 5.26 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
