Trend analysis for JR Engineering

Between 2016 and 2024, JR Engineering's Total Case Rate improved from 2.2 to 0.0 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 100% decrease across 8 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 0.0, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 3.2, a spread of 3.2 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 9 reporting years, JR Engineering recorded 16 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 9-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.

0 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 259,517 hours worked = 0.00 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping

What this grade means for you

Use this grade as a relative read on JR Engineering's reported OSHA injury record, strong versus its Rims, automotive, truck, and bus wheel, manufacturing peers, but not a guarantee about any single site today.

  • At 24% of the Rims, automotive, truck, and bus wheel, manufacturing benchmark, JR Engineering reports fewer injuries than typical peers, still worth asking how safety is managed day to day. Know your rights
  • Judge this record against the wider Rims, automotive, truck, and bus wheel, manufacturing sector, where injury rates vary widely, before comparing it in isolation. See the industry
  • Grades reflect 2016–2024 filings; check the latest establishment record straight from OSHA, or look up a different employer. Look up another

Safety grades reflect employers' self-reported OSHA Form 300A filings from 2016 to 2024 and can lag current conditions. A grade is not a guarantee that any specific workplace is safe or unsafe today. See our methodology and disclaimer.
