Trend analysis for CWS Recogido Municipio Toa Baja

Between 2022 and 2024, CWS Recogido Municipio Toa Baja's Total Case Rate worsened from 14.1 to 15.6 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 10% increase across 2 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2022, at a TCR of 14.1, while 2023 saw the highest rate, at 17.0, a spread of 2.8 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, CWS Recogido Municipio Toa Baja recorded 17 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 (2024)

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.

6 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 76,880 hours worked = 15.61 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
