Trend analysis for General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp
Between 2020 and 2024, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp's Total Case Rate improved from 8.7 to 7.2 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 17% decrease across 4 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 4.6, while 2020 saw the highest rate, at 8.7, a spread of 4.1 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 5 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.
Summed across those 5 reporting years, General Dynamics Electric Boat Corp recorded 1,608 total injuries and illnesses and 1 fatality. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 5-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.
350 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 13,141,878 hours worked = 5.33 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
