Safety Insights for McWane Ductile - OH
McWane Ductile - OH operates an establishment with approximately 504 full-time equivalent workers in COSHOCTON, OH, classified under the Cast iron brake shoes, railroad, manufacturing industry (NAICS 331511). Across 5 years of mandatory OSHA Injury Tracking Application (ITA) reporting, this employer has accumulated 103 recordable injuries, 6 occupational illnesses, and 0 workplace fatalities. The average Total Case Rate (TCR) of 4.1 injuries per 100 full-time workers per year provides the anchor metric for the D letter grade (Poor Safety Record).
Benchmarked against the Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average of 3.3 for Cast iron brake shoes, railroad, manufacturing, McWane Ductile - OH's workforce experiences 125% 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 5 reporting cycles points to systemic hazard exposure. Readers evaluating McWane Ductile - OH 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.

DART Rate, Transparent Calculation (2022)
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.
13 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 1,117,561 hours worked = 2.33 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
