Trend analysis for Metalor Technologies Powders and Flakes
Between 2016 and 2024, Metalor Technologies Powders and Flakes's Total Case Rate worsened from 7.9 to 8.6 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers, a 9% increase across 8 years of OSHA reporting.
The safest year on record was 2020, at a TCR of 2.0, while 2018 saw the highest rate, at 10.7, a spread of 8.7 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, Metalor Technologies Powders and Flakes recorded 30 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.
1 DART incidents × 200,000 ÷ 116,169 hours worked = 1.72 DART
Methodology: 29 CFR 1904, OSHA Form 300A recordkeeping
