Safety Insights for GAORD - BUFORD CENTER
GAORD - BUFORD CENTER operates an establishment with approximately 447 full-time equivalent workers in BUFORD, GA, classified under the Couriers and Express Delivery Services industry (NAICS 492110). Across 3 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 53 recordable injuries, 1 occupational illnesses, and 0 workplace fatalities.

Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 6.5 for Couriers and Express Delivery Services, GAORD - BUFORD CENTER's workforce experiences 68% of the typical injury burden. This ratio matters because TCR already normalizes for hours worked — a 200,000-hour exposure base equals roughly 100 full-time workers — so establishments with very different headcounts can be compared directly. A TCR below the benchmark signals that controls, training, or automation may be outperforming peers.
Multi-year trend analysis is the single most reliable signal here: a one-year spike could reflect a single severe event, whereas sustained elevation across 3 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating GAORD - BUFORD CENTER as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 0, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below.

DART Rate — Transparent Calculation (2024)
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.
27 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 960,665 hours worked = 5.62 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
