Trend analysis for Delta Plastics Stuttgart

Between 2016 and 2018, Delta Plastics Stuttgart's Total Case Rate worsened from 13.3 to 25.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 92% increase across 2 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 13.1, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 25.5, a spread of 12.4 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 3 reporting years, Delta Plastics Stuttgart recorded 28 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 (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.

5 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 70,694 hours worked = 14.15 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
