Trend analysis for Guy Bennett Lumber Co.

Between 2019 and 2024, Guy Bennett Lumber Co.'s Total Case Rate improved from 12.4 to 8.8 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 29% decrease across 5 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2024, at a TCR of 8.8, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 14.9, a spread of 6.1 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 6 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 6 reporting years, Guy Bennett Lumber Co. recorded 61 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 6-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)

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.

5 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 182,723 hours worked = 5.47 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
