Trend analysis for Fort Morgan Facility
Between 2016 and 2024, Fort Morgan Facility's Total Case Rate improved from 18.1 to 14.7 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 19% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2019, at a TCR of 7.5, while 2016 saw the highest rate, at 18.1, a spread of 10.6 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 9 reporting years, Fort Morgan Facility recorded 164 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 9-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.
18 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 380,503 hours worked = 9.46 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
