Trend analysis for Gem City Metal Technologies
Between 2016 and 2024, Gem City Metal Technologies's Total Case Rate improved from 8.7 to 8.0 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 8% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 3.4, while 2017 saw the highest rate, at 15.0, a spread of 11.5 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, Gem City Metal Technologies recorded 27 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. 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.
3 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 99,780 hours worked = 6.01 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
