Safety Insights for H&E Equipment Services, Inc.

H&E Equipment Services, Inc. operates an establishment with approximately 2,489 full-time equivalent workers in BATON ROUGE, LA, classified under the Construction machinery and equipment merchant wholesalers industry (NAICS 423810). Across 5 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 150 recordable injuries, 0 occupational illnesses, and 3 workplace fatalities. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 1.1 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the B letter grade (Good Safety Record).

Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 2.2 for Construction machinery and equipment merchant wholesalers, H&E Equipment Services, Inc.'s workforce experiences 51% 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 5 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating H&E Equipment Services, Inc. as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 3, and any year-over-year deterioration shown in the table below. All figures come directly from employer-submitted OSHA Form 300A summaries — there is no modeling, estimation, or third-party adjustment layered on top of the government data.
