Trend analysis for Ilpal - Palatine

Between 2019 and 2024, Ilpal - Palatine's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 12.7 to 12.3 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 4% decrease across 5 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2023, at a TCR of 11.3, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 14.5, a spread of 3.2 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, Ilpal - Palatine recorded 938 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)

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.

118 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 2,318,342 hours worked = 10.18 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
