Trend analysis for Electric Department

Between 2018 and 2021, Electric Department's Total Case Rate improved from 14.6 to 10.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 28% decrease across 3 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 10.1, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 14.6, a spread of 4.5 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 4 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 4 reporting years, Electric Department recorded 18 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 4-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 (2021)

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.

2 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 76,294 hours worked = 5.24 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
