Safety Insights for KY-02
KY-02 operates an establishment with approximately 154 full-time equivalent workers in LOUISVILLE, KY, classified under the Pillows, bed, made from purchased materials industry (NAICS 314120). Across 3 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 41 recordable injuries, 0 occupational illnesses, and 0 workplace fatalities. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 8.9 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the F letter grade (Failing Safety Record).
Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 3.3 for Pillows, bed, made from purchased materials, KY-02's workforce experiences 271% 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 above the benchmark flags a higher-than-typical risk profile for jobseekers, insurers, and enforcement agencies to examine.
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 3 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating KY-02 as an employer, contractor, investment, or regulatory target should examine the yearly DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred), the fatality count of 0, 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.

All injury, illness, and fatality figures on this page are sourced from KY-02's own mandatory OSHA Form 300A summaries. Cross-check the underlying establishment record directly against the federal source — name, NAICS classification, recordable case totals, and inspection history are all searchable on OSHA's Establishment-Specific Injury and Illness Data system.

DART Rate — Transparent Calculation (2018)
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.
4 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 311,720 hours worked = 2.57 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904 — OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping

What this grade means for you
Use this grade as a relative read on KY-02's reported OSHA injury record versus its Pillows, bed, made from purchased materials peers — not a verdict on whether any single site is safe today.
- At 271% of the Pillows, bed, made from purchased materials benchmark, KY-02 reports more injuries than typical peers — ask specifically how the employer is reducing them. Know your rights
- Judge this record against the wider Pillows, bed, made from purchased materials 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.
