Where Fisk Alloy Wire falls in its industry
206 Wire, mechanical, copper and c establishmentsSafer than 38% of graded establishments in this industry, whose median TCR is 3.7.

Trend analysis for Fisk Alloy Wire
Between 2016 and 2017, Fisk Alloy Wire's Total Case Rate improved from 6.0 to 3.3 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 46% decrease across 1 year of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 3.3, while 2016 saw the highest rate, at 6.0, 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 2 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 2 reporting years, Fisk Alloy Wire recorded 5 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 2-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 (2017)
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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 245,229 hours worked = 0.82 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
