Trend analysis for Lawrence Transportation - Roanoke

Between 2017 and 2021, Lawrence Transportation - Roanoke's Total Case Rate held roughly steady from 4.9 to 4.9 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 0% change across 4 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2017, at a TCR of 4.9, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 7.1, a spread of 2.2 points between the best and worst reporting years. That's a comparatively narrow spread, suggesting a fairly consistent safety record across the 5 years with a usable rate on file, rather than one outlier year skewing the multi-year average.

Summed across those 5 reporting years, Lawrence Transportation - Roanoke recorded 67 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 5-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 (2021)

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.

8 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 447,027 hours worked = 3.58 DART
