Trend analysis for John Grace Construction

Between 2019 and 2023, John Grace Construction's Total Case Rate worsened from 13.1 to 16.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 26% increase across 4 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2021, at a TCR of 11.5, while 2023 saw the highest rate, at 16.5, a spread of 4.9 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 3 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 3 reporting years, John Grace Construction recorded 28 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 3-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)

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.

7 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 182,248 hours worked = 7.68 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
