Trend analysis for Crown Equipment Corporation
Between 2016 and 2018, Crown Equipment Corporation's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 2.6 to 2.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 3% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2018, at a TCR of 2.5, while 2017 saw the highest rate, at 2.8, a spread of 0.3 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, Crown Equipment Corporation recorded 183 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. 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 (2018)
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.
40 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 5,659,496 hours worked = 1.41 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
