Trend analysis for DDC3
Between 2022 and 2024, DDC3's Total Case Rate improved from 45.8 to 24.1 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 47% decrease across 2 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2024, at a TCR of 24.1, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 45.8, a spread of 21.7 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, DDC3 recorded 38 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)
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.
16 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 182,632 hours worked = 17.52 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
