Trend analysis for Grand Island

Between 2017 and 2023, Grand Island's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 0.0 to 10.0 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 0% change across 6 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 0.0, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 13.3, a spread of 13.3 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 7 reporting years, Grand Island recorded 10 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 7-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 (2023)

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.

2 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 40,000 hours worked = 10.00 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
