Trend analysis for Les Schwab-Production Center

Between 2017 and 2023, Les Schwab-Production Center's Total Case Rate worsened from 8.0 to 14.5 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 82% increase across 6 years of OSHA reporting.

The safest year on record was 2021, at a TCR of 6.5, while 2022 saw the highest rate, at 21.6, a spread of 15.1 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 7 reporting years, Les Schwab-Production Center recorded 125 total injuries and illnesses, with no fatalities reported in any of those years. Readers comparing establishments should weigh the 7-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.

16 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 220,441 hours worked = 14.52 DART

Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
